well, he was still wrong, but he was excluding the appearances under its original name of European Champion Clubs' Cup I believe.
Hey don't they teach you manners their in school. No personal attacks! BTW you weren't even born when all that happened.
Wrong! it was 92-93 and Befica wasn't in it. http://www.zerozero.pt/edicao.php?id_edicao=623 or http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UCL/history/Season=1991/intro.html Both top two teams from qualifying were in the quarters, only two groups way back then. Right, 5 points from leader kaiserslautern This isin't about Sporting, it's about how far back you have to go to see what your club has achieved. It was during the days of corruption. Players, not properly signed etc.. Let's take the team that won all those so called CL titles half of the players weren't even from Portugal.
1. you're right on the fact that the cl was officially introduced one year later, but in 91/92 they already played the same format as it was kind of trial. 2. we WERE in the quarters, no matter how many advanced and how many groups were played. this was the way the competition was organized that time. 3. doesn't matter how many points away we were. we were through 4. ah. half the payers weren't portuguese in the 60's? ten take a look at your team and tell me were hilario, perides and mascarenhas, for example, came from? however, i don't care about who played for my club nor who did for your. it's important that they did it with their hearts and there are lots of stories on either side that prove that the players wore their shirts with pride.
Im very happy. I was there to celebrate even if Viena is not as big a powerhouse team as Halmstad but it's close enough
