00:00And victory would make them only the fourth club to have won all three European club competitions.
00:06Tony Gubba is the commentator.
00:10The French are determined to wind up the passion for this showpiece occasion.
00:17They've put on a fantastic display for two hours already here in Bordeaux
00:21and this could certainly be one of the great nights of European football.
00:25In their tight little ground, Bordeaux have already proved their ability to overturn a 2-0 deficit from the first leg,
00:34beating AC Milan here 3-0 in the quarterfinal.
00:39Bayern were unashamedly confident.
00:42Seven of their team were named in Germany's squad for the European Championship next month,
00:46but it could be a night for strong nerves.
00:55And Bayern are attacking the goal to the right in the white strip.
01:00They do have a fantastic record in this UEFA Cup campaign.
01:04They've won all five of their away legs, scoring 17 goals.
01:09Indeed, they haven't failed to score in any away match.
01:16Bayern have gone all the way back with him.
01:18And that looked a reckless challenge in that side.
01:25Hansen well forward, taken by Vicka.
01:31Zidane.
01:40Kossi.
01:43It was long range.
01:46Vicka.
01:47And Bayern have six in the wall.
01:53And it was Svortzer at the end of the wall who just stuck out a boot to redirect it.
01:58Corner.
02:05Anseline.
02:06Dugheri.
02:09But the onus is on Bordeaux to press and look for a goal.
02:13Vicka bursting through.
02:17Still kept his feet.
02:24Well, half the crowd looked at the referee, expected free kick, but he waved it on.
02:27Tumbling from the challenge just a little bit late.
02:37Tumbling from the challenge just a little bit late.
02:37Fence Beckham-Bowell's side still leading 2-0 on aggregate.
02:44And we're into the second half.
02:50Klinsman.
02:51That's Cannon to Kostadinov.
02:58Scholl.
02:59Bayern have got the away goal.
03:03There may have been a deflection.
03:06And Mehmet Scholl scoring from inside the penalty area as he did in the first leg in Munich.
03:16Who are beaten.
03:23And Boncarel, the player who looks very dejected, as does the Bordeaux dugout.
03:34Here's Dogon.
03:36It tried to clear.
03:36It cannoned off Klinsman to Kostadinov.
03:39And the neat little back heel found Mehmet Scholl.
03:43And there was a deflection.
03:44It may have been off Luka.
03:48It's 3-0 on aggregate.
03:50And it's an away goal.
03:51And Bayern's confidence now looks to have been very well founded.
03:58He couldn't have hit it any better.
03:59He beat Kahn.
04:00But back off the bottom of the post.
04:05At least it would have been a start.
04:09Dogon.
04:15He didn't really look before he knocked that in.
04:19And hunting Kostadinov.
04:21Free kick.
04:24And this will be kept in play by Scholl.
04:28And he can get into the penalty area.
04:30Klinsman's coming to meet him at the near post.
04:34Out by Hanson Corner.
04:35And in their mood at the moment.
04:39Bordeaux look likely to concede more.
04:43They just seem to have lost their shape since that third goal went in.
04:46They've pushed players more forward.
04:48But some of the defending has become a bit scrappy.
04:53And Scholl will take the corner.
04:55Oh, empty goal.
05:10Kostadinov gets the second.
05:11And Bordeaux might wonder where the defence had gone.
05:18And that surely, if we were in any doubt before,
05:22clinches that Bayern are going to lift their first European trophy in 20 years.
05:27It's Hanson.
05:40It's another free kick.
05:42Quite happy to concede free kicks in that position, Bayern.
05:46Especially with the scoreline the way it is.
05:48Detel, the substitute, has finally got it through the defensive wall
05:59after all the other free kicks from similar positions
06:04have really been poorly taken.
06:07And Oliver Kahn almost spooning it into his own net.
06:23And Bordeaux finally score, but it's 75 minutes in coming.
06:37You can see the disappointment in French faces.
06:46This UEFA final just proving to be a match too far
06:50after Bordeaux qualified for the competition via the Intertoto Cup.
06:57Here's Zickler.
06:59Strunz.
07:01Yes.
07:02Now, did Klinsmann get a touch?
07:07There's no doubt about Bayern's victory
07:11on the night and in the final.
07:14They are definitely the UEFA champions.
07:17Strunz will want to claim the goal,
07:19but was there a touch here
07:21which may give Klinsmann a glimpse of that record in Europe?
07:24It would be his 15th goal.
07:27Well, it was certainly a major redirection by Klinsmann,
07:30and surely that's a goal for Klinsmann,
07:33his 15th in the competition,
07:35which means he does now move on the record of 14,
07:40which was previously held by Emmerich and Altafini and John Walk
07:44of 14 goals in one European campaign.
07:49Klinsmann there with his 15th.
07:51Well, little pockets of players around the field,
08:03French and German are in deep conversation with each other
08:06as we move into added-on time at the end of this second half.
08:10And Bayern are back as a force in Europe.
08:14Franz Beckenbauer steering them to their first trophy
08:17since that hat-trick of success in the Champions Cup in the mid-70s.
08:23Victory on the night by three goals to one against Bordeaux.
08:285-1 on aggregate.
08:29The long wait is over.
08:42After 20 years of failure,
08:45Bayern Munich have again won a European competition.
08:49The UEFA Cup to complete a trio of all three European trophies
08:57that have gone into the trophy cabinet at Bayern Munich.
09:01And whereas the French on the night looked for passion,
09:06Lothar Matthäus and his team certainly had composure.
09:09And of the 32 goals that they've scored in the competition,
09:1620 of them, let it be said, were scored away from home.
