International football competition
The 1984–85 European Cup (1984/85 UEFA Champions League) tournament was overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium disaster that happened prior to the final match. That edition was won for the first time by Juventus in a 1–0 win against defending champions Liverpool . At sporting level, with this result they became the first club to have won all three major European trophies (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League , and the Cup Winners' Cup ), as well a posteriori as the one that needed the shortest amount of time to complete this (8 years).[ 1]
Following the disaster, English clubs received a five-year ban from entering any European competition, thus ending a period of great success for English clubs in the European Cup which had seen three clubs winning seven finals since 1977 , including six successive finals up to 1982 . Liverpool, English champions in 1989–90 , were given an extra year's ban. There would be no English club to win the trophy until 1999 , when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2–1.
