FA Cup 1993 1994 Manchester United Chelsea
Final
14 May 1994
Wembley Stadium London
Referee David Elleray
Attendance 79,634
The final score was emphatic, but it disguised the fact that for an hour Chelsea looked the better team at a wet Wembley and United were clinging to the ropes for much of the time. Gavin Peacock hit the bar in the first half and a tide of blue shirts threatened to swamp Schmeichel's area. But this United side was made of durable material and they picked up their game in the final half-hour to pull away over the closing stages, inspired to a great extent by the strut and swagger of their French talisman, Cantona.

C1 1977 1978 Borussia Monchengladbach Liverpool
29 March 1978
Rheinstadion
Rheinstadion
Bob Paisley flinched when he heard thé draw for the Européen Cup semi-finals. Although Liverpool would hâve had a testing time against either Juventus or FC Bruges, Borusssia Monchengladbach were the team he really feared. Liverpool had beaten Udo Lattek's West German champions in the previous year's final, and in a UEFA Cup Final in 1973, but Bob Paisley knew Borussia would be yearning for revenge. Liverpool had only rarely reproduced the form that had won them the Champions' Cup. The spirit of Rome had somehow been missing. The league championship looked lost, and they had been beaten by Nottingham Forest in thé League Cup Final, a trophy which had not found its way into the Liverpool locker. The European Cup offered thé last hope of success. Borussia knew that there was no Keegan, or Toshack, the Welshman having departed for Swansea City to become player-manager. The Germans, meanwhile, looked a stronger side than a year before, though they had scraped into thé semi-finals after losing 3-1 at SSW Innsbruck. In Germany, the talk was ail of revenge. Liverpool needed cool heads in front of 66,000 fans in Dusseldorf.
