²The second leg was canceled when the score was 1-0 for Paris Saint-Germain in the 113th minute, as the power went out in the Bucharest district of Giuleşti, where the stadium is located. UEFA ordered the return leg to be repeated the next day, but the Paris team protested. UEFA then rated the game 3-0 for Paris Saint-Germain, as Rapid Bucharest had no emergency power generators in the stadium, which is required by the regulations.

³Instead of a two-way leg, the encounter was played in a game on neutral ground (Warsaw) because of the Chechen war.

Inter Milan progressed quite easily against AEK Athens, after a 3-1 home win a 2-2 away was enough for them. It was just as easy for Valencia CF, who threw Hertha defeated Servette Geneva 3-0 and 2-2 out of the competition. The first big surprise was the elimination of the top French club Olympique Lyon, who only beat Czech club Slovan Liberec 1: 1 at home and lost 4 1: 4 away. Dortmund went on happy and lackluster against the stronger Lille without winning, just because of the away goals rule. PSV Eindhoven threw out another favorite, Leeds United were beaten 1-0 at home and they could play 0-0 away. Feyenoord Rotterdam scored the important away goal at Glasgow Rangers and played 1-1, but at home they got the upper hand in an exciting game 3-2. The next big sensation was achieved by the Israeli team Hapoel Tel Aviv, which knocked the big favorites AC Parma, with stars like Hakan Şükür and Fabio Cannavaro , 2-1 and 0-0 out of the tournament. AC Milan with its star team already looked like the sure winner after the 1-0 away against Roda Kerkrade, but at home they lost 0-1 and since extra time went goalless, there was a penalty shoot-out. Here, however, the Italians retained the upper hand with 3-2.

Inter Milan	2: 1	Valencia CF	1: 1	1-0

Tel Aviv could not continue its series of surprises. With the 1-0 they had created a good result at home, but in the second leg they had to admit defeat with 0-2 and were eliminated.

In the purely Dutch duel between PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord Rotterdam it became the expected close affair. PSV could only play 1-1 at home, but Feyenoord didn't make it better in the second leg and also played 1-1 at home. Since extra time went goalless, there was a penalty shoot-out; here Feyenoord was able to prevail in front of the home crowd with 5: 4.

Slovan Liberec was the surprise team alongside Hapoel Tel Aviv. The 0-0 win was still a rather mediocre starting position for the second leg, which Dortmund won 4-0.

Valencia CF had created a very good starting position for the second leg in their home town Mestalla with the 1-1 draw at favorites Inter Milan, but Inter played very cleverly away and were technically far superior to their opponents, so they celebrate a 1-0 victory could.

⁴ The first leg was played at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia , Cyprus because UEFA bannedinternational football matches in Israel .

Borussia Dortmund created the sensation with a 4-0 home win against the highly rated AC Milan. In the second leg they ran after a 3-0 deficit and were put under great pressure, but then they managed to make it 3-1 with a counterattack and thus made it into the final.

Inter Milan lost the home game 1-0, in the second leg they could not win despite twice leading and were eliminated.
