Feyenoord again participated in the Champions League in 2001 – 02, finishing third in a group containing Bayern Munich, Sparta Prague and Spartak Moscow.
This meant Feyenoord had to continue their European season in the 2001 – 02 UEFA Cup instead of the second Champions League group stage.
The disappointment of failing to reach the second group stage eventually resulted in optimism and celebration.
By winning over SC Freiburg and Rangers, Feyenoord faced fellow Dutch team PSV in the quarter-finals.
Pierre van Hooijdonk, who had a superb season by scoring many goals from free kicks secured Feyenoord's win by scoring in the 90th minute equalizer before finishing PSV off by scoring the last goal in the penalty shoot-out.
A 1 – 0 win in Milan against Internazionale, and a 2 – 2 return match in Rotterdam, earned Feyenoord their spot in the final, in which Borussia Dortmund was the opponent.
The final was held in De Kuip and as a result, most spectators inside the stadium were Feyenoord fans.
