The 2001 UEFA Cup Final was the final match of the 2000–01 UEFA Cup, Europe’s secondary club football competition. The showpiece event was contested between Liverpool of England and Deportivo Alavés of Spain at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, Germany on Wednesday 16 May 2001, to decide the winner of the UEFA Cup. Two-time winners Liverpool were appearing in their third final, whereas Alavés were appearing in the final for the first time. The final saw Liverpool win due to an own golden goal. Combined with beating Birmingham City on penalties to win the League Cup and with victory in the 2001 FA Cup Final, the win secured a unique Treble for Houllier and his club.
