Coupe des Clubs Champions 1978 1979 Nottingham Forest Aek Athens

Deuxieme Tour Retour
1 Novembre 1978
City Ground 

 Brian Clough and Peter Taylor had worked their magic again. The irascible duo had taken the small East Midlands club Nottingham Forest from the old Second Division in 1976/77 to the English league title the following year, seven points ahead of second-placed Liverpool, and had also won the League Cup. Clough had joined Forest early in 1975, with Taylor joining eighteen months later, and had transformed the squad. Already at the club were attacking right-back Viv Anderson, who was soon to become England's first black international, the tubby left-winger John Robertson, and striker Tony Woodcock. Clough brought in his two lieutenants, the industrious midfielder and captain John McGovern and centre-forward John O'Hare. who had followed him on his travels from Derby to Leeds. English international goalkeeper Peter Shilton arrived from Stoke City, and two Scottish internationals - fiery central defender Kenny Burns and crafty, hardworking inside-forward Archie Gemmill -were also persuaded to the City Ground. 

Champions League 2011 2012 Olympiakos Marseille

13 September 2011
Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki Pireás 

Ce mardi, l’Olympiakos aura la particularité de lancer sa saison, avec un match de poule de Ligue des Champions. Une situation incongrue qui ne satisfait pas l’entraineur du club du Pirée. Mais ce dernier a, comme tout le monde en Grèce, du accepter le fait que le championnat a commencé avec du retard en raison du passage à 14 de l’élite grecque, après l’énorme scandale des matchs truqués apparu cet été.

Coupe des Clubs Champions 1984 1985 Liverpool Panathinaikos

Demie Finale Aller
10 Avril 1985
Anfield 


 Merseyside was enjoying its finest hour of European and domestic success. Everton were top of the first division, Liverpool second. Both clubs were in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and Everton were into the semi-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup. There was a real possibility of four of the most prized trophies in Europe ending up in Scouse hands. Liverpool were relieved to have avoided Juventus, the Italian giants who had already beaten them in the Super Cup, albeit under atrocious weather conditions in Turin. With Juventus pitched against the French champions Bordeaux, a Liverpool/Juventus final always seemed the likely outcome. It was the first time Liverpool had ever entertained Panathinaikos, although the Greek champions had travelled to Merseyside once before, when they knocked Everton out of the European Cup quarter-final in 1971.
