Both coaches, Joaquim Rifé of Barcelona and Hans-DieterTippenhauer of Fortuna, had very short coaching careers. Rifé was sacked at the beginning of the following season, due to poor results,and after that only had a coaching-spell at Levante in 1981, while the final was the last game for Tippenhauer as headcoach of Fortuna. The following season he would lead Arminia Bielefeld to promotion to the German Bundesliga before resigning, only to return to coaching for a short period in the spring of 1983 where he coached Bayer Uerdingen to promotion to the German Bundesliga, before joining Borussia Dortmund for 14 days in november 1983. Rifé later started his own soccer camp in Barcelona, but Tippenhauer never returned to football.
i watched this with my dad back in the day........a very good game hear the commentary talk about a young Klaus Allofs a future star in the making for sure. A good game between two fine sides
Tenia 14 años. Recuerdo el partido y como se alegro la gente en Barcelona despues de tantos años de sequia en Europa. Eran tiempos de cambios en España...
War ne Bomben Mannschaft die Düsseldorf damals hatte. Die waren zu der Zeit ja fast jedes Jahr im DFB Pokalfinale. Das war Ihr Wettbewerb. Und dann die Spiele im Europacup der Pokalsieger, mei des waren Highlights damals.
Ja, eigentlich hätte auch in der BL mehr rauskommen müssen. Ohne Daniel und Nachfolger zu nahezutreten, aber auf der TW-Position un d in der Abwehr waren die Schwachpunkte.
It was not usual in this time for german players to play outside of Germany. Only few left Germany like Schuster to Barca or Netzer,Breitner to Real a few years earlier, later on Rummenigge to Inter!
Hard to forget this game Barcelona were vile and my view of Neeskins stays in the memory a low rent thug who'd have not been out of place at Leeds in the 70s. Amazing people claim to remember this game positively. I started out wanting Barca to beat the then Bogey Germans and ended up being annoyed and upset such was the constant cheating by Barcelona. 45 years later it's still in my mind...
Ich habe damals mit meinen zarten 16 Jahren geheult wie ein kleines Mädchen. Fortuna hätte den Titel sowas von verdient gehabt. Schade damals. Trotzdem FORTUNA IST DER GEILSTE VEREIN DER WELT. Zumindest wenn man aus Fingern kommt
Nunca vi un partido en el que se desprendiera tanto las limeas blancas del campo jaja. En el mundial del 74 y en el del 78 mo pasaba eso , y esta final fue en el 79
Repasando los partidos, ahora me doy cuenta como no ganábamos nada, que montón de fallos, no jugábamos un pimiento y el caso es que yo no lo veía así!!
