On this day, 22 years ago, Real Madrid won their third Intercontinental Cup. On 3 December 2002, the Whites won the third of their eight world champion titles, and it was also in the club's Centenary year. This marked the end of a glorious 2002 the club secured La Novena and their first Uefa Super Cup.
Ronaldo was one of the stars of the match against Olimpia de Asunción, as he put the Madridistas ahead in the 14th minute. The Brazilian's performance earned him the man of the match award in a game in which Guti was the other scorer. The playmaker nodded home to make it 2-0 at the Yokohama International Stadium in Yokohama (Japan).
