The 1986 European Cup final was a football match played at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Seville, Spain, on 7 May 1986 to determine the champions of that season's European Cup. Steaua București of Romania defeated Barcelona of Spain in a penalty shoot-out after 120 minutes of play could not separate the two sides. Barcelona had all four of their spot-kicks saved by Steaua goalkeeper Helmuth Duckadam, who was later dubbed "the Hero of Seville".[1] It was the first European Cup final to finish goalless and remains Steaua's only European Cup triumph, and the first of only two won by an Eastern European club.
