1997–98 UEFA Cup

Common card · No. 273841

The 1997–98 UEFA Cup was the 27th season of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier of club football in Europe organised by UEFA. It was won by Inter Milan of Italy, who beat fellow Italian club SS Lazio 3-0 in the final at the Parc des Princes. It was their third title in eight years in the competition. It was the first instance of the UEFA Cup final being a one-game contest at a neutral stadium, having previously being decided over two legs with each team having one home game. This was the first tournament where the 2nd placed team of major European leagues went to the Champions League instead of the UEFA Cup. For first time, one nation (France) was represented by seven teams: Strasbourg, Auxerre, Bastia, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux and Metz.
