If Nottingham Forest’s triumph was already striking, what Olympique de Marseille achieved in 1993 was just as remarkable. That year, the European Cup underwent its biggest format change to date and was renamed the Champions League. In the final, they faced the legendary AC Milan managed by Fabio Capello, featuring the Dutch trio of Rijkaard, Gullit, and Van Basten. However, Olympique de Marseille managed to claim the title thanks to another lone goal, this time from Basile Boli, just two years after losing the 1991 final to Red Star Belgrade. Since then, Olympique de Marseille has proudly remained the only French Champions League winner—a record PSG will look to equal this year.
