In the 2002-03 UEFA Champions League season, AC Milan and Inter Milan clashed in the semi-final.

Sharing the same stadium, they drew 0-0 in the first leg and 1-1 in the second.

However, AC Milan was the designated away team in the latter and so became the only team to win on “away goals” without scoring a goal away from their own stadium

The last Premier League game that was played without any substitutions being made by either side, was Manchester United vs Fulham on 22 March 2003.

Manchester United won the game 3-0, with Ruud van Nistelrooy scoring a hattrick.
