1 Milan were
demoted from 2nd to 3rd after being stripped of 30 points for their role in the Calciopoli scandal. The player spotted by Harry Redknapp as a teenager announced himself on the European stage with a hat-trick against Barcelona in the Nou Camp. The striker's formidable partnership with Sergei Rebrov took Dynamo Kyiv to the brink of a European Cup final. After ending the reign of European champions Real Madrid, Dynamo were eliminated by Bayern Munich at the semi final stages, a trademark blunder by the teams weak link goalkeeper Olexandr Shovkovskiy costing them a crucial late goal. Milan won the race to sign Shevchenko for £18 million. He took Serie A by storm, scoring 48 goals in his first two seasons. Milan had at last found a replacement for the legendary Marco Van Basten but would not challenge for silverware until Ancelotti's tactical revolution in 2002. An injured Shevchenko watched from the stands as his team-mates rolled off a series of impressive victories in Europe. He put disappointing league form behind him to net the winner in a hard fought victory over reigning Champions Real Madrid, was man of the match in an epic 3-2 victory over Ajax, scored the crucial away goal against Inter in the semi-finals and hit the winning penalty in a shoot-out victory over Juventus to clinch Milan's sixth European Cup. The Italian Cup followed weeks later and the next season Shevchenko, brilliantly supported by youngester Kaka' and Tomasson, fired Milan to a record breaking scudetto in which the team took 22 out of a possible 24 points against the top four clubs i.e. Juventus, Inter, Roma and Lazio. After two years of unprecedented success Shevchenko and Milan's season fell apart in spectacular fashion in 2005. Having clawed back an 8 point deficit against Juventus, Milan lost a head to head battle against their bitter rivals in a controversial clash at the San Siro. Worse was to follow in the European Cup final. Having destroyed Liverpool with a scintillating display of attacking football, Milan had a 3-0, half-time lead whittled away early in the second half. The match was headed for penalties when Shevchenko was guilty of a miss from point blank range then in the shoot out, 2 years after converting the penalty which won Milan their sixth European Cup, his weak spot kick was saved, handing the cup to Liverpool.
