Porto won the 2004 UEFA Champions League final under José Mourinho.
The Portuguese club defeated Monaco 3–0 on 26 May 2004 at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. Carlos Alberto opened the scoring before Deco and Dmitri Alenichev added second-half goals. Deco was named man of the match.
The victory was Porto’s second European Cup triumph, following their 1987 win over Bayern Munich. It also completed an extraordinary rise under Mourinho, who had guided Porto to the UEFA Cup the previous season. Porto’s knockout run included victories over Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo La Coruña.
The result is often remembered as a breakthrough moment for Mourinho, then a rising young manager. He left Porto for Chelsea shortly afterward and later won the Champions League again with Inter Milan in 2010. Braga, Sporting CP and Benfica are all prominent Portuguese clubs, but none won this final.
