India 1 - 0 Lebanon
The Intercontinental Cup was historically contested between the winners of the UEFA Champions League (representing Europe) and the winners of the Copa Libertadores (representing South America). The match was held annually and served as a showcase between the champions of these two prestigious club competitions.
Here's how the Intercontinental Cup typically worked:
UEFA Champions League: The UEFA Champions League is Europe's premier club competition. Each year, the top teams from European leagues participate in this tournament. The winner of the UEFA Champions League represents Europe in the Intercontinental Cup.
Copa Libertadores: The Copa Libertadores is the premier club competition in South America. The top teams from South American leagues compete in this tournament. The winner of the Copa Libertadores represents South America in the Intercontinental Cup.
Intercontinental Cup Final: The Intercontinental Cup final was a single match played between the champions of Europe and South America. The match usually took place in December and was hosted in one of the participating teams' home country. The winner of the match was crowned the Intercontinental champion.
It's important to note that the Intercontinental Cup has undergone changes. In 2000, FIFA introduced the FIFA Club World Cup, which expanded the tournament to include champions from other continents. The Intercontinental Cup was gradually phased out, and the FIFA Club World Cup became the official global club competition.
