European Cup 1961 1962 Benfica Real Madrid
2 may 1962Amsterdam Olympic stadium
Vingt-neuf équipes participaient à la Coupe des clubs champions européens 1961/62. Mais malgré cet élargissement de la compétition, deux noms familiers se retrouvaient en finale à Amsterdam : le SL Benfica et le Real Madrid CF. Les tenants du titre avaient renforcé leur effectif avec l'arrivée de l'attaquant né au Mozambique Eusébio. C'est d'ailleurs lui qui mettait le feu aux poudres lors de leur victoire 4-3 sur l'ensemble des deux matches contre le Tottenham Hotspur FC en demi-finale.

Attendance 43900
As the crowds gathered at Anfield on a bright Saturday afternoon in mid-August 1985, it was not to herald a new season of football but rather to mourn the past season for Liverpool. It was a mere three months since the tragedy of Heysel and had been the most traumatic period to date for the club. An intense debate had swept through Parliament and the media about the problems of football violence while the Merseyside police were conducting a thorough investigation into the riot. Culprits were found and dossiers handed over to the Belgian authorities. In Belgium itself, the Government coming under increasing criticism, had been forced to resign and call a general election. Politicians on Merseyside and in Turin crossed the channel to help heal the wounds and pay their respects but the memories of those who had suffered or lost innocent friends and relations could never be erased. Not surprisingly, the European Football Association took the sternest action possible, banning English clubs from playing in Europe indefinitely and imposed a further ban of three years on Liverpool.
