Where the Leeds United team are now that defeated AC Milan in the Champions League today in 2000

It's 22 years to the day since Leeds United upset the odds in a remarkable night under the lights at Elland Road. David O'Leary's side defeated AC Milan 1-0 in the Champions League group game, bouncing back in style after a 4-0 humbling against Barcelona in their previous European outing.

Lee Bowyer's 30-yard drive was spilled by Brazilian goalkeeper Dida, to give the Whites the three points their performance richly deserved. The Group H clash was played out in awful conditions on a wet and blustery night at Elland Road, but the poor weather didn't dampen spirits both on and off the field.

Dominic Matteo, Olivier Dacourt and Bowyer were among the standout performers as O'Leary's side looked to keep their Champions League qualification hopes alive. The Whites were not overwhelmed by the star-studded opposition that stood before them.
