00:02And the spirit of the German side was there to save.
00:07One, that's a good call in. I mean, he's just misjudged. He's brought that down well. Two of them in
00:11with a shout.
00:13Riedler just slams it under Perrucci. But that all's emanated, you know. I think they will ask questions about Perrucci's
00:19post.
00:20And I think Perrucci will possibly ask questions. There's a suggestion he may have been outside there, Riedler, as the
00:25ball's in front.
00:26But I think Perrucci will also ask questions. Remember the corner before? They're having a bit of an argument with
00:31the referee.
00:32And I'm not too sure whether Chaputci hasn't boxed him in there before the corner was taken.
00:36And Riedler just got there, just a fraction before Curlach.
00:41Just shows the game though, didn't it? I mean, that was completely against the winner player.
00:48The first real goal attempt that Dortmund had had, but as we were saying a moment ago, never write them
00:53off. Their spirit is quite incredible.
00:57And that man, Riedler, the king of the header, as they call him, has made it 2-0.
01:09This is an astonishing situation now.
01:12And there's, in the white back there, Otmar Hitzfeldt, the coach of Dortmund. A real authoritarian boss. That's the way
01:24you have to be, he says.
01:26That's a good ball into the Danes as though. He's just pulled off the defender slightly. It's more of a
01:31power header than a sort of leaping header.
01:34But, all of a sudden, he's turned the game upside down now, Riedler.
01:39He's always been a terrific header of the ball. He's renowned for it. And, well, you saw a prime example
01:45of it there. Karl Hanksley can lead there.
01:50Now it makes you wonder, doesn't it? I mean, Jugovic worked the ball very, very close. Kept it in tight.
01:56And I would think when he hit his shots, saw it going past close. I bet he thinks that this
02:01moment in time, 2-1, we're on our way back.
02:04I mean, sometimes as well, he doesn't even rebound. When it's your day, let's see what happens with this one
02:09here.
02:10Vieri beaten in the air.
02:11When it's your day, Brian, that rebounds into the path of a striker.
02:16It was Vieri who finished it off, but the flag was up for handball.
02:23And the linesman just acknowledging the level of the referee, acknowledging to the assistant referee, quite right.
02:31Disappointment for Marcello Lippi.
02:38The one thing we must say, the referee was perfectly placed. It looks to have struck him on the hand
02:43there.
02:44I don't quite see how he could have pulled his hand out of the way, but I suppose the importance
02:47of the goal, or what it was, and the referee in a good place.
02:52He was only about five yards, I think.
02:56I mean, that will have given them a little bit of heart. They've hit the back of the net, albeit
02:59chalked off.
03:00They've hit the post.
03:02The Jugovic tragedy shot.
03:04He's gone through a pair of plays, may have got a slight deflection.
03:07Great extended arm.
03:10And that's gone behind for the goal kick.
03:14That's a darn shot at the Englishman.
03:20Oh, my goodness, off the crossfire, deflected.
03:23In fact, it was a strange shot on the turn, but probably came off the defender as well.
03:28And it had close, really struggling for a moment.
03:32Well, it looks like it's going a mile over, didn't it?
03:34It gets a sudden little dip, gets a hand and a hand and bar.
03:39It's absolutely stretching.
03:41Needed the touch.
03:42It certainly needed the touch.
03:43And here comes the corner.
03:49Well, Piero, or rather, Delivio.
03:53Paolo Sousa, batting away, gets his shirt tugged.
03:57Arms flailing, Delivio got a smack in the face for his trouble.
04:06A slight error made by Dortmund outside their own penalty area.
04:11Suddenly created a problem.
04:13A good leap here by Voxic.
04:16In the end, quite a comfortable catch for Stefan Close.
04:19Carged it down.
04:22And Jugovic couldn't make anything other as well just for a moment.
04:26It looked as though things might be good for Juventus.
04:29Still in possession.
04:36And it's gone in!
04:39Well, Del Piero!
04:41Whether it was he or a defender got the touch, it's in the back of the Dortmund net.
04:46After a great run by Voxic.
04:49And Juventus are back in business.
04:52And he's back where he should be, right in the middle of the ball.
04:55In the last ten minutes or the last five minutes or so, he started to stray off the line.
04:59That's a lovely ball through here.
05:01Voxic, little dummy by Zidane.
05:03Voxic takes it out of his feet.
05:06Gets across the goal.
05:07The goal is stumbling.
05:08Bucks it across.
05:09And Del Piero thrusts himself in.
05:11A typical striker's goal.
05:13Where a striker should be.
05:14Middle of the goal.
05:16Since he's freed himself off the line, he's looked a better prospect.
05:21And certainly it'll give Juventus more space to attack there.
05:25And now we really have a final on our hands.
05:28That'll give tremendous, like half the Juventus, uh, tame opposing.
05:33There's the cross coming in.
05:38Only five years old and full of blood.
05:41So Heiko Heinrich, uh, Haerlich, well they've got Haerlich and Haerlich on now.
05:52Absolutely astonishing!
05:53His first touch, he comes on as a substitute.
05:56How do you legislate for that?
05:58We talk about super-science.
06:00That's a super, super, super-science.
06:04And now they're 3-1.
06:07Leruzzi doesn't know what to do with himself.
06:09Oh, it was a made-to-measure.
06:10He left him the space to go for.
06:12It's a beautiful through-ball.
06:13I think it's through Moller.
06:14Slotted him in.
06:15And to come on and do that when you,
06:17when you're basically, you're not warm in a game of this standard.
06:20It's a beautiful through-ball.
06:21He's ready, bro.
06:23He goes under.
06:24He sees Prucci off his leg.
06:26Stands it in.
06:27But what a first touch!
06:29I mean, an incredible first touch, isn't it?
06:31There's no better first touch than it is!
06:34Oh, wait a minute.
06:35They've made it as up to other superstitions now.
06:38In the meantime.
06:41And Boroso is on.
06:43A striker.
06:45For Juventus.
06:48Piero with the free-click.
06:50Not one of his best.
06:53I mean, when it swings to 2-1.
06:55When Del Piero gets anything psychologically now.
06:58Juventus are going to take it by score.
07:01And then all of a sudden, that's the sort of thing.
07:03Not only does he make the score to balance two a game, you know.
07:07The manner in which he scored it probably.
07:09Every Juventus player went.
07:11Oh, I can't believe that.
07:12You know, the hearts were sustained a little bit.
07:23Towards Amoruso.
07:24Oh, here's Sosa.
07:25Making a good break now.
07:27And suddenly the break is truly on once again.
07:29Helix waiting in the middle.
07:30Oh, they only have to pull it back.
07:34There's the final whistle.
07:36And Dortmund, against all the odds,
07:38are European champions.
07:42Those two goals from Karl-Heinz Biedler in the first half.
07:46An amazing goal by the substitute.
07:49His first touch.
07:50Last record in the second half.
07:53And Del Piero just making that one reply.
07:56A whole pile of happiness there.
07:58And Ottmar Hitzfeld.
08:00Their magical coach.
08:02Who has performed wonders with an unfashionable side.
08:05And now gets them back in the Champions League again next season as well.
08:16And the last man up is the captain who takes the cup.
08:31A final word quickly from you, Alec.
08:34Well, I think it's a fantastic final, I must say that.
08:37I don't want to pick football.
08:40Just a little pair of the game.
08:41It's interrupted with so many...
