Gordon Wallace had become an integral part of McLean’s coaching staff, having lost his former number two, Walter Smith, to Rangers the previous season. Wallace was tasked with a scouting mission like one he’d never experienced before, handed plane tickets to Barcelona and a date at the Camp Nou where Terry Venables’ Blaugrana would be playing Real Madrid in El Clásico. The Catalan giants boasted the likes of Gary Lineker, Mark Hughes and Steve Archibald in their ranks, and were still reeling from a surprise defeat in the previous year’s European Cup final at the hands of Helmuth Duckadam and Steaua Bucharest. History was on the Tangerines’ side with two previous victories in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup between the clubs, yet these were different times and fans were sceptical of a repeat performance.

 

 

By now the games were coming thick and fast, and while United’s league form had suffered somewhat, progress had been made in the Scottish Cup. Many felt they would be able to concentrate on domestic issues soon enough with Barcelona heading for Dundee. Despite these doubts, McLean was under no illusions, his side was brimming with European experience and he fully expected a win at Tannadice in the first leg. He drummed into his players that there was nothing to fear against Venables’ team of superstars as the whole of the British sports media descended on Scotland.From the kick-off United surged forward, the effervescent Gallacher chasing the ball out wide and winning a throw-in. From the resulting throw, Sturrock’s heavy touch looped back towards Gallacher at the crescent of the penalty area. Like a flash, the young striker hit a side-footed shot high towards the Barcelona goal, over a scrambling Andoni Zubizaretta and gave the Terrors a dream start. Barcelona, stunned by this, failed to muster many openings and took the tie back home with only the narrowest of margins between them.

 

 

The Arabs descended on Barcelona in their droves, many travelling in the hope of seeing their side repeat the heroics of two decades before. McLean ensured his players trained early, taking a leaf out of Jock Stein’s book so as to avoid exposure to the Spanish midday sun. He frequently inspected the player’s legs for signs of a suntan, a clear indication that his rules had been disobeyed. Another foible of the manager was an insistence on his players taking the stairs at the team hotel; lifts were to be avoided. His annoyance was there for all to see when Malpas and two teammates arrived late for a team meeting having got stuck between floors in the hotel lift.

United trained at Barcelona’s reserve ground, with many of the players remarking that it was bigger than Tannadice. Both dwarfed in comparison to the Camp Nou as the teams stepped out of the tunnel and into the vast bowl and its cacophony of sound. Any doubts from the Scots had to be put to one side as, roared on by their support, Barcelona set about turning around the first leg deficit. With half-time fast approaching, United had done well to take the sting out of the Catalan tails, yet when they failed to clear the ball sufficiently, Ramón Calderé’s shot from the edge of the box was diverted past Sturrock on the post by goalkeeper Billy Thomson and into the net. 

It was now level on aggregate and United needed to score to have any chance of going through to the semi-finals. The players came into the changing rooms at the break fully expecting the wrath of McLean having conceded so close to half-time. Instead, their manager was calm and reassuring, confident that his players had the wherewithal to complete the job in the second half. As the game went on the Barcelona players could feel the tension emanating from the stands. United looked to seize the initiative as the home side appeared to be wilting under the pressure.

 

 

With five minutes left on the clock, the Terrors won a free-kick wide on the left-hand side. The man known as ‘Luggy’, Paul Sturrock, bent a left-footed cross into the box where John Clark got a run on his marker. Clark towered above Hughes and crashed a header in off the bar to send the travelling Arabs into rapture, scoring a vital away goal. 

Before the shocked Camp Nou faithful could reach for their white hankies United broke forward again. Barcelona attempted to play offside but Sturrock again raced away down the left side. As several defenders bared down on him, he noticed Iain Ferguson appear at the back post. He sent over an inch-perfect cross and the former Rangers man headed down into the corner past a prone Zubizarreta.
