14/05/1980 Cup Winners Cup Final ARSENAL v VALENCIA

[@anglowarrior3871]

Looking back,I find it hard to believe that as a 5 year old I was allowed to stay up and watch this on a school night.And I wasn't even an Arsenal fan.One of my earliest football memories.

[@PanikosApollon1954]

Even though I was 10 years old, this match was unforgettable to me because a team was on the field and it was a great injustice to lose this title and finally it was the reason that I have not digested the Valencia team since then.

[@colinjennings3661]

John motson talking through a phone in the second half, rix's missed penalty, Mario kempes hair, I remember watching this as if it was yesterday. 38 years ago.

[@DanNicolaescu]

Since then I support Arsenal. I was 13.

[@tommylucy4738]

I was out there for this game we should have beat them ! Lost 2 finals in a week ! PAINFUL

[@joseluisgarciaolmos4228]

de este valencia empece a enamorarme de este club

[@rayvonn2891]

How many gooners remember David O'Leary dribbling past Kempes and Bonhof in the second half of extra time? Doubt that clip's anywhere on YT but I remember being pretty impressed, that was class.

[@christophersharpe5222]

If talbot had scored in the semi at Hillsborough things might have been different, they just ran out of steam at the end.Too many games against Liverpool cost them.

[@erniescullion8452]

Too many games isn't a good enough reason for me. Total nonsense reason. Not for missing a bleeding penalty.

Good day. Like and thanks from your subscriber. Baku city

[@guillermoramos9788]

I remember Valencia CF at those times, they had some good players such as Kempes, Solsona, Castellanos etc, but I don´t remember the goalkeeper. Uff I was very a kid at that time, by the way, I believe Arsenal deserved to win that final. However, Valencia did a good job, they managed to beat Barcelona in semis.

[@juanvalina675]

Pereira the goalkeeper

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

Was Barca good in 1980? I know they had some moments in the mid 80s before Cruyff took over.

[@guillermoramos9788]

@@doncarloancelotti2256 yeah they had such a good squad, Danish forward Alain Simonssen, Austrian striker Krankle, the German midfielder Schuster, and other international Spanish players.

Hello. Valencia beat Nantes in semifinals (aggregate 5-2). Regards.

[@mikelsaar9395]

Era muy joven y la memoria ahi se quedo en ese y otros momentos españoles. Desgraciadamente hoy murio Castellanos. Gran centrocampista y un adelantado a su tiempo. Buen manejo de pelota y muy ligero en ser tosco. Gran Valencia aquel. Si yo me quedo con alguno serian Carrete, Bonhof y Arias.

[@billkent6037]

Never mind Graham Rix, you may have missed here but you had no problem scoring with a 15 year old! The Adam Johnson of the 1990's!

[@ZeldaFitz]

I remember watching this as a 9 year old I was absolutely gutted. Lost two finals in a week and caved in against Boro 5-0 on the 70th game of the season the following week.

[@eddiepower3876]

Bloody hell it's hard to pick which was the worst of the three there

[@guillermoramos9788]

Sorry my friend I also remember watching that final at home with my older brother and my dad. it was such an exciting match. On overall I think Arsenal played better than Valencia in that match, but Valencia managed to beat Barça in semis, it was a great achievement by Valencia. Regards from Spain.

[@iainclark5964]

I belived at thectime and stiill do that Arsenal's long semi final against Liverpool really cost them especially in the Cup Final.

[@diptastik5651]

This season was fucking depressing ! Lost the FA Cup to West Ham , Lost this on penalties and Brady pissed off .

[@forgive7449]

Kempas had just won the world cup with Argentina scoring twice in the final. Bonhoff was also a world cup winner with west germany. Valencia had a lot of quality but arsenal so nearly beat them

[@davidharris3914]

2 best classiest players Kempes then Brady missed unbelievable

[@aalkhalaf1]

True classic final. Goal keepers were up to the occasion with important saves. The best save for me was the one from Valencia keeper on 3:00 .. That was with fast reaction similar to Banks save from Pele's header in World Cup 1970.

[@jovellanos2725]

Recuerdo esta final de 1980 por el penalty parado por Pereira que luego jugó de portero en el Atlético Madrid y su sobrino Agustín era el portero del Real Madrid .

[@paolorodriguez6294]

Kempes fue un grande en el Valencia CF,campeón de Copa del Rey/ 1979 y de la Recopa / 1980.

[@stevestokes2793]

left footers usually kick across themselves when taking a penalty....nice one Donny!

[@rjay1340]

Just five years before thirty nine people lost their lives at this joke of a stadium , the fans were literally separated by a flimsy chicken wire fence and i remember thinking it was an accident waiting to happen . How arsenal lost that match I'll never know and our support was incredible I've never seen so many gooners at an away match , yes that was a hard one to take , very very painful , coyg !

[@mrkipling2201]

Apparently heysel was a crap stadium even then 5 years before the disaster

[@billkent6037]

Oh yeah, Arsenal fans were scathing about the place blasting it a "right s*it hole". Surprising O'Leary didn't take a penalty considering his Italia 90 heroics

[@mrkipling2201]

Wisty Boy I remember seeing on a documentary about the disaster that they put a load of plastic and metal poles under a hut at the back of the terraces. The poles were exactly the right size so they could be used as a weapon. Why they were left there I’ll never know.

[@mrkipling2201]

UncleMikeNJ most definitely. Why UEFA used it as the venue for the 1985 final when it would have only deteriorated a lot more since 1980 is beyond me.

[@chairmanalf7856]

I was there in 1976 with West Ham. It was a crumbling dump.

[@nikreece6295]

a german football fan in his 80s told me on social media a few years ago, that he was at the euro 72 final between west germany and russia at the heysel stadium. and he told me that even back then it was shit-hole 13 years before the tragic events in 1985

[@ZeldaFitz]

The tea pot at 3:33 is hilarious.

[@mrkipling2201]

Did that man have a coffee pot before extra time??!!

[@otimoluk]

Haha, saw that as well.

[@dannywlm63]

Still don't know how we lost even though I had to sit down asleep for the first half as so drunk 🙃

[@dexterdexter5863]

Old, good Heysel Stadium :-)

[@chairmanalf7856]

I was there in 1976 with West Ham. It was a crumbling dump and the terraces were strewn with masonry, even in those days. It was always a disaster waiting to happen.

[@geoffwright3692]

Nick Hornby wrote in "Fever Pitch" about attending this game "The stadium was in a disgusting state of repair"@@chairmanalf7856

[@baljitdhillon5523]

Painful to watch this European Cup Winners Cup Final against Valencia, especially after losing to West Ham in the FA Cup final only four days earlier.

[@Ray-ed5ew]

I was in Brussels for the match very disappointed after being at Wembley and losing to west ham in the fa cup final Saturday before I think it was. But great times and heysel was a wreck then concrete crumbling loose terracing should not have got that final let alone Liverpool v juventis

[@pauldonnelly3179]

How did Arsenal not win this game? Should of been 2 or 3 up

[@mariobarderasfernandeztv.4318]

Grande Valencia....Copenhague, Rangers, Bar¢a, Nantes y Arsenal...CAMPEONES....

[@eddiepower3876]

Rix gave it away with his shimmy before he took the kick what was that about??

[@steveblack610]

Serving tea at 3.40. Football used to be great.

[@jbclaret1983]

The Officials were very poor towards Arsenal in the shootout because Valencia's Goalkeeper on every Arsenal kick kept on moving 2-3 yards off his line before each kick was taken, that is cheating in my book and the officials let him get away with it!

[@elena16350]

Your worse than Barry Davies, all goalkeepers move, have you forgotten Grobbelar, or best of all Jerry Dudek, both of Liverpool.

[@ZeldaFitz]

The camera angle for these penalties is appalling

Madrid Independente 1974 1 Coppa delle Coppe 1962 3 Europa League 3 Supercoppe europee 8 titoli, e 4 finali perse 4/ ARSENAL e molto sfigato essendo il terzo club più titolato di Inghilterra..13 campionati d'Inghilterra, 14 FA Cup Ma in Europa non và 4 finali importanti perse dai Gunners ...2006 Champions League, 1980 , Coppa delle Coppe persa ai rigori col Valencia di Kempes 1995 altra finale persa in Coppa delle Coppe 1 Europa League persa 4-1 dal Chelsea Nel 1994 storica vittoria in Coppa delle Coppe C'è anche da citare la Coppa delle Fiere del 1970.no UEFA 5/ La nostra juventus ha il record di finali perse in Champions League e/o Coppa Campioni 7 finali perse ..73-83-97-98-03-15-17 1 finale persa Coppa Intercontinentale nel 1973 1 finale di Coppa UEFA persa col Parma nel 1995 Ci sarebbero anche 2 finali perse in Coppa delle Fiere.. Nel 1971 la Juventus perse la Coppa delle Fiere..senza mai perdere una partita in tutto il torneo.Nella doppia finale col Leeds ci furono due pareggi 2-2 a Torino e 0-0 in Inghilterra.. Coppa al Leeds per la regola dei gol fuori casa appena introdotta.. questo può dare l'idea sulla iella della Juventus nelle finali europee Va detto comunque che la Juventus è stata la prima squadra europea a vincere tutte le coppe europee e internazionali.. impresa riconosciuta dalla UEFA con la consegna della targa UEFA.. Che i detrattori antijuventini definiscono targhetta..ma che li fa rosicare come topi, assieme ai 70 titoli ufficiali vinti dalla Juventus 6/ LIVERPOOL Il Liverpool ha perso ben 3 volte la finale per il titolo mondiale per club...1981, 3-0 dal Flamengo; 1984, 1-0 dagli argomenti dell'Independiente 2005 col San Paolo Brasile 2 volte ha rinunci 4 finali perse in Champions League 1 in coppa delle coppe, trofeo mai vinto 2 finali di Supercoppa europea 14 titoli vinti ma ben 10 finali perse..dal 1990 il Liverpool al 2020 il Liverpool non ha vinto nessun campionato Più adatto alle competizioni internazionali che al campionato..un po' come il Milan di Berlusconi tempo fa. 7/ MILAN Mentre si parla spesso delle finali perse dalla Juventus, non si parla delle 11FINALI PERSE DAL MILAN Il Milan ha il record della squadra europea che ha perso più finali della coppa Intercontinentale il Titolo mondiale per club 4 Finali perse dai militari 1963 Santos 1993 Sanpaolo 1994 Velez 2003 Boca Juniors 4 finali di Coppa campioni perse dal Milan Real Madrid, Marsiglia, Ajax e Liverpool 1 finale di Coppa delle coppe col Magdeburgo, 2-0 , 1974 2 finali perse di Supercoppa europea, nel 1973..un 6-0 subito dall'Ajax nella finale di ritorno ad Amsterdam 1993 finale persa col Parma Ci sono anche ben 9 finali di Coppa Italia perse Il Milan ha vinto più della metà dei suoi titoli nell'era Berlusconi Da considerare i 44 anni senza scudetti dal 1907 al 1950 Dal 2011 fino al 2017..il Milan vincerà solo la Supercoppa italiana ai rigori Berlusconi nel 2017 vende la società Siccome la Fininvest ci parla del Milan come l'essenza del football mondiale Il sottoscritto dissente 8/ la Roma Forse potrà sembrare una anomalia l'inserimento tra le grandi squadre sfortunate La Roma è stata una delle prime squadre a vincere un titolo europeo nel 1961 La UEFA non ha mai riconosciuta. La Roma ha disputato la finale di Coppa dei Campioni 1984 Finale persa ai rigori contro il Liverpool Nel 1991 la Roma raggiunse la finale di Coppa UEFA, ma venne sconfitto dall'Inter di trappattoni. La Roma 1991 fu nominata dalla FIFA squadra mondiale Dell'Anno Nel 2022 la Roma vince il suo primo titolo europeo certificato UEFA La Roma è la terza squadra italiana per numero di Campioni del mondo con la nazionale dopo juventus 22 Campioni del mondo, Inter e Roma.... 9/ Paris Saint Germain Il PSG ha vinto la Coppa delle Coppe nel 1996 Ha vinto anche la Coppa UEFA intertoto La Champions League resta un tabù In Francia ha messo la stella 1 finale persa in Champions League 10/ Manchester city Il Manchester city è da 10 anni lla migliore squadra d'Inghilterra Ha vinto 5 volte la premier League In passato ha vinto la Coppa delle Coppe nel 1970.. Finalista di Coppa campioni Champions League persa col Chelsea Il Manchester city sembra in grado di vincere la Champions Altre grandi squadre che non sono riuscite a vincere la Coppa dei Campioni e la Champions League Valencia Dinamo Kiev Stade Reims Il Saint Etienne Anderlecht Tottenham Hotspurs E citiamo anche il Panatinaikos
