The 2000 UEFA Super Cup was a football match played on 25 August 2000 between Real Madrid of Spain and Galatasaray of Turkey. Real Madrid qualified by beating Valencia in the 2000 UEFA Champions League Final, while Galatasaray had made it to the Super Cup after beating Arsenal in the 2000 UEFA Cup Final. Galatasaray won the match 2–1, both goals scored by Mário Jardel, the latter a golden goal.
This was the first Super Cup contested by the winners of the UEFA Cup (now the UEFA Europa League). Until 1999, it was contested by the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the winners of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but the Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued after the 1998–99 season.
The Stade Louis II in Monaco has been the venue for the UEFA Super Cup since 1998. It was built in 1985, and is also the home of AS Monaco, who play in the French league system.
Two goals from new signing Mário Jardel, including a 103rd minute golden goal winner, provided Galatasaray with their second UEFA trophy in three months as the Turkish side captured the UEFA Super Cup by defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Stade Louis II stadium in Monaco.
Until Jardel's winning strike, the match had been a tale of two penalties as Jardel and Raúl both fired spot-kicks home for either side. The Turks took the lead in the 41st minute when Jardel beat Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas after Iván Campo was adjudged to have bundled over Hakan Ünsal inside the penalty area. But Real replied 11 minutes from full-time when Raúl drilled the ball past Cláudio Taffarel after Suat Kaya was ruled to have handled Sávio's attempted cross. However, Jardel, signed from FC Porto to replace the departed Hakan Şükür, enhanced his reputation even further when he turned home substitute Fatih Akyel's low cross from the right past Casillas from eight metres in extra-time much to the delight of the assembled Turkish contingent.
