4. Chelsea 1-1 Atvidaberg (Atvidaberg win on away goals), Cup Winners' Cup, 2nd round, 1971
Six months previously Chelsea had lifted the trophy by beating Real Madrid in the final, and they began their defence of the Cup Winners' Cup with a narrow 21-0 aggregate victory over Jeunesse Hautcharage of Luxembourg. So nobody expected them to slip up in the next round against the Swedish part-timers. Even after being held 0-0 in the away leg, Peter Osgood and Co were anticipating a slaughter at Stamford Bridge, as indeed were the Swedes, who, in the words of David Lacey in the Guardian, "threw nine men back in their defence with a fatalism worthy of Bergman".
Atvidaberg survived the first half but within 10 seconds of the resumption they finally fell behind, Alan Hudson finding the net from 20 yards. John Hollins' penalty miss a few minutes later was not expected to matter but, amazingly, it did, as in the 68th minute the visitors mounted their attack of the game and the striker Roland Sandberg dashed on to a pass from Lars-Goran Andersson and slid the ball past Peter Bonnetti for an equaliser. Chelsea failed to respond and, indeed, failed to accept their defeat with good grace. "One of the Chelsea players spat at me," said the forward Ralf Edstrom recently, adding: "They were real pigs. Absolutely! Pigs! A lot of people say that the Englishmen were always fair. And maybe they were – when they were playing each other. Against foreign teams they were dirty all the time." PD
6. Aberdeen 3-2 Bayern Munich (agg: 3-2), Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final, 1983
An up-and-coming manager named Alex Ferguson had already made Aberdeen a force in Scotland but not until this dramatic night did Europe realise that here was a side to be reckoned with. Applauded just for reaching this stage of the tournament, Aberdeen were expected to be dispatched by Bayern, who counted Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Paul Breitner in their team. After a valiant 0-0 draw in Munich, the Dons fans were dreading the concession of an early goal at Pittodrie and their worst fears were realised when Klaus Augenthaler stepped regally forward to drive the ball into the net in the 10th minute. Neil Simpson equalised before half-time, but soon the Scots were put back in their supposed place, when Hans Pflügler smashed a crisp left-footed volley past Jim Leighton.
Needing two goals to progress, Ferguson introduced two substitutes – John McMaster and John Hewitt. In the 76th minute the former combined with Gordon Strachan to outwit the German defence with a free-kick routine that has since become commonplace at Manchester United, leaving Strachan to cross for Alex McLeish to head an equaliser. One minute later, the Bayern keeper Manfred Müller parried an Eric Black header and Hewitt, with his first touch after five months out with injury, stabbed in a sensational winner. Now all of Europe was aware of something special brewing in Scotland, but neither Waterschei in the semi-final, nor Real Madrid in the final, could concoct a remedy, and Aberdeen completed one of the most astonishing campaigns in European history.
