I do… but you also need a pinch of luck to win.
@Michele640 How can Nottingham Forest winning 2 European Cups be down to luck? It’s just because they had such a great manager in Brian Clough, every team has luck in Europe doesn’t mean they didn’t deserve to win. Italy had ‘luck’ in the 2006 WC Final on penalties, but does anyone mention that, no they don’t.
You were not helped by the referee, but you were definitely lucky in my opinion. Anyway, opinions may differ. That was a golden time for the English footbal in the Champions League, but while Liverpool definitely won because it was the strongest team, to my mind, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa also had a lot of luck.
@Michele640 I agree with you about Leeds Utd, but not Villa. we deserved it, so did they.
I don’t think we are the biggest cheats, but I never said we never swindled… of course, there have been far less deserved victories than Aston Villa’s, as I said Bayern in 1975 really stole the Champions’ Cup from Leeds United.
Without deserving it? Villa battled & battled until the very end without cheating & didn’t concede a goal. You could say the same about Manchester Utd in the 1999 final, but the fact is we lifted the European Cup deservedly. if anything, can’t say the same about more than half of most Italian club sides over the years. You’re Italian & ya telling me this??? Italy are possibly the biggest cheats in World Football.
I’m an Italian, but I’m not jealous at all: I remember that match very well, Bayern had several goal opportunities, Aston Villa only one: of course, to win a game you have to score and you also need some luck, but all in all it can be said that Aston Villa won without deserving it.
@Michele640 I’m guessing you’re Italian and jealous?
No, just objective… anyway, the final of 1975 between Bayer and Leeds was much more questionable, the English team was really ripped off.
@Michele640 jealous
Aston Villa didn’t deserve to win.
i dont think villa will ever get this title ever again
@1402Rush Never say never, there is always the Europa League.
Credit to Villa, but I saw this match as a young boy and must tell that Villa will never ever get this luck again in the future, so one sided to B.Munich…
It was not offside!
When the European Cup actually MEANT SOMETHING unlike today when only certain teams win it.
Rotterdam 1982; greatest day in the history of Aston Villa F.C 😀
