Back at the scene of their first European Cup win in Rome's Olympic Stadium, Liverpool beat AS Roma on their own patch in the first final decided by penalties.

After a 1-1 draw, goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar stole the show in the shoot-out, with his 'spaghetti' legs putting off the Italians. That allowed Alan Kennedy to rifle in the winner after Phil Neal, who scored in the first half of normal time, Graeme Souness and Ian Rush had also hit the target from 12 yards.

"This has been the most difficult of our four European Cup wins." Manager Joe Fagan
