Happy Saturday /r/soccer!
With the world of football still on hold, we have decided to host a series of discussion threads each Saturday, on a particular topic within the game.
Following last weekβs thread on your memories of FIFA World Cup Finals, this weekβs discussion is along a similar theme β but will instead focus on the UEFA European Cup and Champions League finals.
The first European Cup final took place in 1956, with the competition then known as European Champion Clubsβ Cup β and began its life as a straightforward knockout competition, before being rebranded as the Champions League in 1992, when a group stage was also added. There have been 64 European Cup/Champions League finals to date β which are summarised below.
Some starting points for discussion are listed below, but feel free to bring whatever thoughts you have to the table about your memories of these games.
(n.b. from this point onwards I have referred to the competition as the European Cup, which includes the tournament since it was rebranded to the Champions League)
###Topics for discussion:
What has been your favourite European Cup final, and why? What was your least favourite?
Has your team ever won the European Cup, and if so, did you watch or attend the game?
What have been some of the most significant European Cup finals, in the history and development of the game?
What is your favourite European Cup final goal?
What was the biggest upset of all time in a European Cup final?
Have you ever attended a European Cup final in person, and if so, what were your experiences and memories of the game?
