The 1974 European Cup Final was contested between FC Bayern Munich of Germany and Atlético Madrid of Spain.
[edit] Match Summary
Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid met in Brussels’ Heysel Stadium and played out a tight, nervous ninety minutes. Atletico, this time showing their more attractive side, had the better of the first half with their superior passing and movement. Bayern moved up a gear after the interval with Gerd Muller and Uli Hoeness both having chances. But at the end of normal time there were still no goals, and as the 30 minutes of extra-time drew to a close, the scoresheet was still blank. Then, with little more than five minutes remaining, Luis Aragones curled a free-kick around the Bayern wall and past Sepp Maier to score the goal that looked to have won the European Cup for Atletico Madrid. But then, as the final seconds ticked away and the Spanish supporters celebrated their impending triumph, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck made one final, desperate attempt to rescue the game as he galloped forward from defence and unleashed a 35 yard shot. It appeared to be a routine save for Miguel Reina in the Atletico goal, but he was unsighted and let the ball past him and into the net for a truly dramatic equaliser.
Two days later the teams returned to the same stadium, although this time the stands were only half full. The Spaniards were without their combative midfielder Irureta and it seemed that the first game had taken more out of them than their opponents. With Franz Beckenbauer controlling the game, the pace and greater energy of the Germans was too much for Atletico and this time Bayern Munich were dominant. Uli Hoeness began and ended the scoring with goals in the 28th and 82nd minutes. In between Gerd Muller scored with a 56th minute volley and a 69th minute lob. At the final whistle, the only European Cup Final replay finished with Bayern Munich as comfortable 4-0 winners and the trophy went to Germany for the first time.
