Holy shit, never realised how terrible they were in finals
I'm a bit biased, but look at teams Barça had to beat in these last 10-11 years: Juventus, ManU twice and Arsenal - the last two were pretty solid teams back then.
there's of course meme sampdoria in the 90s.

lol Sampdoria was GOAT stfu when you don't know what you are talking about
That match was the start of UEFAlona's cheating, they scored on a non-existant free kick otherwise Samp would have won as they were the better team
the first 5 were a joke, like only 2-3 games against literally who's, and even then halal had to refball to win

What?
Meant to type EC1 (Europacup I) but got my mind on the EL semi against Lyon
Where does the 1 come into it though?
Back in the day you had the Europacup I and the Europacup II
That turned into the Champions League and UEFA League and finally the UEFA League turned into the Europa League
>Europacup 1
>Europacup 2
>UEFA League
Are they exclusive finnish sayings?
It was the European Cup, the Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup
Never heard of this, as far as I know it was called European Champions Cup (Coppa dei Campioni here)
I'm Dutch, we used to call it the Europacup One and Europacup Two
Where did the Cup Winners Cup fit into it?
That was the Europacup II, which turned into the UEFA Cup (not UEFA league I fucked up again) which turned into the Europa League
And to be honest those was the best most honest type of European tournaments
League winners compete with eachother
Cup winners compete with eachother
Simple, easy, fair
>That was the Europacup II, which turned into the UEFA Cup
It only merged with it, UEFA Cup existed alongside it for a couple of decades. Cup Winners Cup was definitely the more prestige of the two though. It got killed off by letting more teams into the CL
ah, a conoisseur, indeed my friend.
It made sense to have more than one tournament indeed
The Europa League feels so unnecessary
because Milan already 7 cl at this point
this whole thread is retarded
