The final, which followed the second-ever UEFA Champions League group stage, saw Ivorian-born Marseille defender Basile Boli score the only goal of the match in the 43rd minute with a header to give ''OM'' their first European Cup title. It was the first time a French team had won the European Cup. Marseille would be the only French club to have won the Champions League until the 2025 win of rivals Paris Saint-Germain against Milan's rivals Inter Milan, also in Munich. No other club from the French league would even reach the final until Monaco in 2004.
Marseille and their club president Bernard Tapie would later be found to had been involved in a match-fixing scandal during the 1992–93 Division 1—in which Marseille allegedly paid Valenciennes to lose a match, which saw them relegated to Division 2 and banned from participation in European football for the following season. As the scandal only affected a French league match, while Marseille's status as the 1993 European champions was not affected, they were not able to compete in the 1993 European Super Cup.
The final turned out to be the last game of Milan's highly accomplished but injury-prone Dutch forward Marco van Basten, who was 28 at the time; having been subbed off in the 86th minute due to fatigue and yet another ankle injury, he would spend the next two years in recovery before announcing his retirement in August 1995.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.corriere.it/sette/incontri/20_febbraio_28/marco-van-basten-ho-vissuto-venti-anni-rimpianti-ora-sono-sereno-c1bda286-56e7-11ea-b89d-a5ca249e9e1e.shtml?refresh_ce-cp | title=Oggi su 7 Marco van Basten: "Ho visto la depressione.

==Aftermath== Marseille's triumph remains controversial due to accusations of doping alleged by Marcel Desailly, Jean-Jacques Eydelie, Chris Waddle and Tony Cascarino. According to Eydelie, "all (of them) took a series of injections" in the 1993 Champions League final, except Rudi Völler. Desailly and Cascarino claimed that club president Bernard Tapie distributed pills and injections himself. In an interview with French magazine ''Le Point'', Jean-Pierre de Mondenard said Marseille had a blackboard in their team locker room that read "injections for everyone". Tapie only admitted that some players took captagon.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Weir |first=Christopher |date=30 October 2018 |title=The glory and the corruption of Marseille's kings of 1993, the team that conquered Europe |url=https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/10/30/the-glory-and-the-corruption-of-marseilles-kings-of-1993-the-team-that-conquered-europe/ |access-date=3 September 2022 |website=These Football Times }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Kistner |first=Thomas |url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/948696330 |title=Schuss.
