1984–85 European Cup

1984–85 European Cup

The 1984–85 season of the European Cup club football tournament was won for the first time by Juventus in a 1–0 win against defending champions Liverpool. With this victory, they became the first club to have won all three major European trophies (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup), as well as the one needed the shortest amount of time to complete (8 years). This remarkable achievement however, was overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium disaster happened prior to the decisive match.

Following the disaster, English clubs received a five-year ban from entering any European competition, thus ending a period of great success for English clubs in the European Cup which had seen three clubs winning seven finals since 1977, including six successive finals. There would be no English club to win the trophy until 1999, when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2–1.
