1990–91 European Cup

36th season of the UEFA club football tournament From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1990–91 European Cup

The 1990–91 European Cup was the 36th season of the European Cup, a tournament for men's football clubs in nations affiliated to the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). It was won for the first time by Red Star Belgrade on penalties in the final against Marseille; both were first-time finalists. This was only the second time that an Eastern European side had won the competition, after Steaua București of Romania in 1986. It was also the last tournament to be solely knock-out based, with a group stage added for the next season. Red Star won the tournament as the only Yugoslav club shortly before the breakup of Yugoslavia. This was also the last season to feature a team from East Germany, since the East and its West counterpart reunified in October 1990. Although this was the first season which English clubs were readmitted to European competition Liverpool did not compete in the European Cup as English champions due to the last year of their six year ban.

Milan were eliminated by Marseille in the quarter-finals after the second leg had been awarded as a 3–0 win for Marseille when the eventual runners-up were leading 1–0, and 2–1 on aggregate, in injury time, when the floodlights failed. Milan refused to play on when floodlights were fixed and were banned, giving Marseille a 3–0 automatic win.

Teams

Summarize
Perspective

A total of 31 teams participated in the competition. Teams are ordered below by the 1989 UEFA association coefficients.[1]

Although 1990–91 marked the return of English clubs to the Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup, after a five-year ban resulting from the Heysel Stadium disaster, Liverpool had been banned for an additional year, so could not participate in the European Cup as English champions.

Ajax, the Dutch champions, were not allowed to participate in a European Cup competition because of the poor behaviour of their fans during a game the previous season, so their spot in the qualification was simply vacated, giving the two-time defending champions Milan a first-round bye.

Notes

  1. ^
    East Germany (GDR): All matches of Dynamo Dresden, who were representing the DFV of East Germany as champions of the 1989–90 DDR-Oberliga, on or after German reunification of 3 October show the flag of the reunited nation of Germany. However, those matches and their records were still counted for East Germany, and not for Germany, under UEFA regulations.

Seeding

For the first and second round draws, teams were ranked according to their 1990 UEFA club seeding coefficients. The seedings took into account performances in European competitions from 1985–86 to 1989–90, and were calculated by taking the club's total UEFA coefficient points earned divided by total matches played.[2][3]

The match was abandoned in the 78th minute as per the decision by the match referee Emilio Soriano Aladrén due to Dynamo Dresden fans causing commotion in the stands and pelting the pitch with objects that landed in the vicinity of Red Star player Robert Prosinečki who was about to take a corner kick and the assistant referee on the sideline. Following several minutes of unsuccessful attempts to calm the fans, the match referee ordered the teams off the pitch and the contest was never resumed. Red Star Belgrade led 2–1 on the night and 5–1 on aggregate at the moment of the stoppage. At a disciplinary hearing several days later, UEFA awarded a 3–0 win to Red Star Belgrade and banned Dynamo Dresden for a year from European competition.
