European Cup 1957-58

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1957-58 European Cup was the third season of the European Cup, a club football tournament for league champions. The tournament was won by Real Madrid, who beat Milan 3–2 in the final, following a 2–2 draw after 90 minutes. This was Real Madrid's third European Cup title in a row. However, the 1957-58 season will be forever marked by the air disaster in Munich, when eight Manchester United players lost their lives on their way home from Belgrade, after a 3–3 draw in the quarter-final second leg with Red Star Belgrade.
