Back in November 1973, Bill Shankly’s legendary spell as Reds manager was still going strong.

Liverpool were the reigning First Division champions and the UEFA Cup triumph had been the icing on the cake in a memorable 1972/73 campaign, in which they defeated Borussia Monchengladbach in the two-legged final.Now back in the European Cup and dining with the best the continent had to offer, confidence was high that they could go far in Europe’s most prestigious competition.A 3-1 aggregate triumph over Jeunesse Esch, a side from Esch-sur-Alzette in Luxembourg, saw the first round hurdled without any drama.It was Red Star who stood before them in round two—a team who had been eliminated in the UEFA Cup third round the previous year—and Shankly didn’t expect anything other than progression from his side.The two legs that followed proved to be a turning point in Liverpool’s great history, however, as they were comprehensively outplayed home and away.

Red Star prevailed 2-1 in both legs, with their technical expertise often making them look like they were playing in a different era.In the second leg at Anfield, Slobodan Jankovic’s stoppage-time goal proved to be the final nail in Liverpool’s coffin, even though Chris Lawler’s late effort had given the hosts some hope.Red Star were famously applauded off the pitch by the Liverpool supporters, an ultimate sign of respect, and there was a feeling that things needed to change in Europe.Former Reds legend Tommy Smith claimed that Red Star’s defenders “were as comfortable on the ball as the most creative midfield players,” and, ironically, his more no-nonsense style would swiftly make way for Phil Thompson—famed for being a better ball-playing centre-back.It was an evening when Liverpool’s entire outlook on European football changed for the better, shaping the remarkable success that soon followed.
