1975 European Cup Final

The 1975 European Cup Final was a football match held at the Parc des Princes, Paris, on 28 May 1975, that saw FC Bayern Munich of Germany defeat Leeds United A.F.C. of England 2–0.

The match saw rioting by fans of Leeds after a disallowed Peter Lorimer goal and controversial decisions by referee Michel Kitabdjian. The violence saw Leeds banned from Europe for 4 years (reduced to 2 on appeal)[1][2][3] Despite Leeds now playing in the third tier of English football, the controversy surrounding the final is still manifested in the chant 'We are the Champions, Champions of Europe' by fans of the club often throughout the half time interval at away games[1]
