Porto won its first European trophy after fighting back from 1–0 down, with the goals coming from a back heel by Rabah Madjer and a volley from Juary, after a Ludwig Kögl header had given Bayern the lead in the first half. This was the first European Cup final that Bayern, and their captain Lothar Matthäus, would lose to successive late goals, repeated 12 years later in the 1999 UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United.[1]
