Epic matches of yesteryear

Two excellent teams, two big clubs with two great young managers.

Milan demolish Barcelona 4-0 with a masterful defensive display without regular CBs Baresi and Costacurta. Van Basten injured with Papin and B Laudrup left out due to the 3 only foreigner rule.

M Laudrup was left out of the Barca team for the same reason.

 

Capello 47 Cruyff 46. Master tacticians at the top of their game. They will rule the club scene for the next 2 decades.

However it doesn't work out like that. Capello only wins 1 more title at Milan and 4 more trophies (+2 revoked) in total.

Cruyff who has won 10 major trophies in the previous 8 years and 6 in hos 5 years at Barcelona never again wins one and retires 2 years later.

We had the great Jimmy Magee commentating on it (by phone) for RTE in Ireland that night. He came out with the classic line 'And here comes Horst Hrubesch, the man they call the monster' as he was walking up to take the deciding penalty for the West Germans. Incredible scenes

Si Hrubesch marque , l’Allemagne est en finale.
