We start with the greatest of the part - as a matter of fact, Los Blancos' joint-heaviest loss ever in European rivalry, matched a couple of years after the fact by AC Milan. Kaiserslautern went into the second leg of their UEFA Cup quarter-last tie expecting to score something like two times to get an opportunity of advancing after a 3-1 misfortune in Madrid a fortnight prior. What's more, it required only 17 minutes for Friedhelm Funkel to pack a support at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion and level the tie. The guests then, at that point, started to collapse with two first-half red cards for Isidoro San Jose and Laurie Cunningham.
The Red Villains were at long last ahead in the tie on 50 minutes when Hannes Bongartz set off down the left, jinked past two or three safeguards and tracked down the base corner. Norbert Eilenfeldt made it 4-0 on the night not long after, turning in a Reinier Geye cross, before the Spanish side lost a third man with Francisco Pineda excused for two speedy appointments. With Genuine heads gone, Geye set aside a fifth, leaving goalkeeper Augustin - himself to blame for the opener - with his arms fluttering about with apprehension as the "Betze Legends" guaranteed a noteworthy win and 6-3 total triumph that unloaded Truly out.
That outing to Kaiserslautern brought back agonizing recollections and glimmers of history repeating itself for a few of the Genuine crew. They'd likewise been to Germany only two years sooner, this chance to take on Hamburg in the European Cup semi-finals. Once more, the Spanish side held a two-objective benefit (2-0) from the principal leg in Madrid, yet again they were blown away. Kevin Keegan won an early punishment that Manfred Kaltz dispatched before Horst Hrubesch gave the 62,000 inside the Volksparkstadion something to truly yell about when he controlled home one of his brand name headers to even out the tie inside 17 minutes.
Cunningham would reestablish Genuine's total benefit on the half-hour mark before a sweet Kaltz strike from 20 yards found the furthest corner against substitute goalkeeper Miguel Heavenly messenger and a second Hrubesch header had HSV 4-1 to the great on the evening and 4-3 in the tie. With the clock ticking, Vicente del Bosque was shipped off for the guests before Caspar Memering tucked home a Hrubesch reduction on an hour and a half to seal a well known triumph. HSV would proceed to lose the last 1-0 to Nottingham Timberland yet delegated their brilliant period a couple of years after the fact by lifting the 1983 European Cup.
