I am Austrian, 12 years young back then ... I was a SUPER LEEDS UNITED FAN! Loved their game - and notice - it was 1975 - sooo different to "know" or "watch" a foreign soccer club ... and I love all the super players ... in that time LEEDS UNITED just had only NATIONAL TEAM PLAYERS in the team! England - Wales - Scotland - Northern Ireland - Ireland - just heroes in the team! And remember or let you tell you (younger readers :-) ) WE HAD THAT SUPER-SEMIFINAL: REAL MADRID - BAYERN MÜNCHEN ... FC BARCELONA - LEEDS UNITED .... Bayern went over Real Madrid - Leeds went over Barcelona ... LEEDS UNITED was the super-big favourite for the final in Paris vs Bayern ... LEEDS dominated the whole match ... Bayern came 2-times in front of the LEEDS goalkeeper ... and scored 2 goals ... well ... then the Leeds fans or "fans" droped down to the field their plastic seats ... and MY SUPER CLUB WAS BANNED FROM INTERNATIONAL GAMES for years ... all the stars left LEEDS UNITED of course ... A SUPER TIME OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ... Ajax ... Bayern ... Leeds ... Barcelona .... Real ... I WILL ALWYS REMEMBER MY STARS OF FOOTBAL IN THESE 1970s ... ♥

Magic?? The defenders stupidly used to go all way backwards to defend against long high balls shot from midfield, instead of establishing an offside line. And terrible passing precision, the pitch was not so bad and the ball was already made out of polymers, but the players were playing as if they were in a horse corral and as the ball were a coconut.

Burnley had a great team tehn fantastic attacking football. Moved to London when I was 18 and started supporting West Ham, Moore, Hurst, Billy Bonds, more great players. We would stand on the North Bank crammed in, the crowd swaying, moving up and down when there was a shot or a save, singing Bubbles, the adrenaline was incredible. They killed the game for me when it went all seating, just not the same now.

That Barca team was not that good. they were 2nd from bottom when Cruyff went there. Many Spanish footballers were skilful but inferiority complex underachievers. Cruyff's glory days were with Ajax, when he and they, were untouchable. After the 74 world cup, he was still a brilliant player but didn't dominate world football as he had done. Something went missing, Mind you, he beat England all by himself in 1977.

[@damionsunderpants498]

Lorimer said "Cheating is the only way to describe what went on at the Parc de Princes 40 years ago. Sorry if that offends anyone but it’s how we felt. When it comes to apportioning blame, you’ve got to point the finger at the referee first and foremost. Great player though he was, Beckenbauer was well known for getting in the ears of referees. It’s what he did. I’d seen it when he played for Bayern and I’d seen it when he played for Germany. I’m still convinced that he was responsible for persuading the officials to disallow my goal in the second half. Uli Hoeness, their forward, was interviewed on TV and asked about 1975. In his own words, he said that the result was a travesty. The better team lost and they lost for no other reason than the performance of the referee. I can’t disagree.”

I don't want to sound racist, but the Latins are world champions at provoking when they realise they can't win a game fairly. The problem is, we always fall for it. And that's what McQueen did. Same with Beckham. Simeone admitted later trying to get Beckham sent off by over-reacting to the kick and then, along with other members of his team, urging the referee to send him off. Then the wink from Ronaldo as Rooney got (rightly) sent off. The "best" ones were Neymar alias "Rawhide" in 2018 (rolling, rolling, rolling )and Rivaldo in 2002 (getting the ball passed to him for a corner, hits him on the shins, falls over holding his head). The Italians also got Zidane sent off by disgusting provokation.

When football WAS football 💯

[@erniescullion8452]

Franz Beckenbauer said Leeds shouldve WON against BAYERN due to bad decisions against Leeds he is right. I'm a Liverpool fan would love to see Leeds Wolves ManCity Newcastle NOTTINGHAM FOREST Tottenham HOTSPUR & Villa ETC ETC. do well in EUROPEAN FOOTBALL

[@SometimesInnocent]

PFF! Right from the start the man tells us that Leeds Utd got through . . . I was hoping o be surprised without knowing the outcome before watching

[@SometimesInnocent]

On French TV they tell you the final result then show highlights. So stupid

[@suffern63]

Shocked to see someone sent off in the seventies for something as piddling as a punch,and not that good a one it has to be said.Normally,it took at least at stabbing before the ref thought about getting a card out. Messi is the best player I've ever seen,but it's hard to believe that he wouldn't have spent a lot of time lying face down in the mud after a disgusting knee high tackle or six,and consequently of course he would have suffered a lot more injuries.

[@dujuan9646]

Apart from the tackles I’d bet on him, the defending was shambolic in that era

[@suffern63]

@@dujuan9646 Yes,but the tackles,well not the tackles the brutal fouls,are the problem.If thugs kick you on the knee every game then in the end you get injured and of course you score less goals as you can't run with a broken leg.Messi would have been a genius in any age but it was a different game,with different rules,different pitches and different kit back then.

" Did anyone ever hit a ball sweeter than Lorimer did that night?" Yes. Many times before and many times since.

[@Al-Gorithm]

They could play. They couldnt beat Chelsea. In this match they actually played continental football not hoof ball English teams were known for at the time. Notice Barca played out from the back and they were no soft touch thr 1st leg was brutal. They had the legendary Cruyff and Neeskens and Brazils Marinho from the '74 world cup team that still contained some of the 1970 legends minus Pele.

[@mikewest1542]

What happen to Eddie Gray , was he injured as he was brilliant in the 1st leg !

[@colmmagoo]

Yah Giles too, think he was back in for the final

[@GranulatedStuff]

Reaney and Gray were superb in the first leg. Dont think they were injured..not 100% sure though. Armfield made a lot of puzzling choices that season.

[@leedsutd67]

i had to listen to the match on BBC radio as we didn't have a TV at home i can still hear the commentator describe Billy Bremner kicking the ball off the line in last few minutes.

[@matthewcoombs3282]

Fancy Barca trying to mix it with Leeds the toughest team from the most physical league in Europe - not going to end well. I remember a European Game when a Red Star Belgrade player was kicking lumps from Graham Souness. When the ref back was turned Souness lumped him one and broke his jaw.

[@uiibenji]

happy to see the game got more 'gentle', so we can watch a messi doing a few 'goals of the century'. because theres an other competition for showing whos the most brutal in the world: war

[@amandacerasale4679]

What a left hook by McQueen Ali and Henry Cooper would've been proud of that and I'm a Arsenal fan. ,20:50

[@jandekker6055]

Brian Moore commentates on 2nd leg, but Coleman on the 1st. Odd that ITV and Beeb should split the games. Or was one of the vids I've seen here not 'live' but a highlights package?

[@soccer1970-f5f]

Just depended on which channel was scheduled to show european football on that particular night. Unlike now, in the 70's 80's etc bbc and itv both showed european football. I think generally bbc and itv would alternate between each leg. BBC Sportsnight ITV The midweek match/midweek sport special.

I was actually at the first leg at elland road,in the south stand-am I bragging?of course I am,wouldn't you?

That must have been something to see. I bet the ground was steaming. I remember watching the final, aged 10. It was part football, part travesty

[@stevemakinson2222]

@@Softpedal I also saw Zoff,Rossi and Cabrini play for Juve at old trafford against Man U not long after they won the world cup,and their midfield pairing was Platini and Boniek,oh that'll be me bragging again then!

The amount of Scots on that Leeds team is unreal, should have changed their name to Leeds Thistle.

Every top English side was stuffed with Scots, for years. Now... almost no Scots are playing at top English clubs on a regular basis.

@@lukesenior4702 : And the most successful managers in English football in recent years have been Scotsmen: Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly (OBE), Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Kenny Dalgish. The Scottish teams at FIFA World Cups 1974, 1978 and 1982 also contained star players. Sadly, they underachieved.

I think Leeds were robbed in the final, they had a goal mysteriously disallowed. They had been a great team since 1970 and should have won more trophies.
