Real
Madrid and Juventus were paired in the Second Round of the 1986/87 Champions
Cup.
The
Spanish squad managed by new Dutch Manager Leo Beenhakker had won the UEFA Cup
in the two previous seasons and were seen as the best Real Madrid side since
the 1950s era.
The
squad contained a multitude of Internationals such as Emilio Butragueno,
Camacho, Michel, Sanchis, as well Mexican goalscoring machine Hugo Sanchez and
Argentina’s Jorge Valdano.
They
had qualified from their opening round by defeating Switzerland’s Neuchatel
Xamax (0-1, 5-0).
Juventus
had a new manager of their own, Rino Marchesi. He had taken over from Giovanni
Trapattoni, who had left after a decade full of titles.
The
squad contained a number of ageing stars such as Scirea, Cabrini and French
superstar Michel Platini.
The
new generation included Denmark’s Michael Laudrup, Massimo Mauro and Aldo
Serena.
They
had qualified from their opening round by defeating Iceland’s Valur Reykjavik
(7-0, 4-0).
The
first leg, on October 22nd, was played at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu
Stadium.
Beenhaker,
under pressure to deliver the Champions Cup, was confident and believed Real
could eliminate Juve just like Barcelona had done the previous season.
Juventus
had a number of problems. Captain and Libero Gaetano Scirea was injured. The
vastly less experienced Roberto Solda started in his place.

In
addition, Michael Laudrup had just returned from injury and not fully fit,
while Platini was fading and out of form nearing the end of his career.
In
typical fashion when playing at home, Real attacked from the start. Their
collective and attacking play was superior and were dominant in the first half
hour. Juventus, as the away side, was naturally cautious and defensive.

The
more adventurous Real scored in the 20th minute. Chendo crossed from
the left, and Butragueno tapped in as Tacconi was stranded at the near post.
Despite
their dominance Madrid could not score again.
In
fact Juventus scored a goal that was disallowed in the first half. Manfredonia
headed in a corner from the left by Mauro, but it was called off due to an
infraction.
In
the second half, Juventus lost their deputy Libero Solda to an injury and he
was replaced by another interim Libero Nicola Caricola.

Real
were disappointed at the slim margin of victory and had expected more goals at
home.
Butragueno
felt Cabrini had treated him very harshly on the field, though at the end they
gladly shook hands.
Strangely,
this top-billing encounter was not shown live on Spanish Television (UEFA Cup’s
Barcelona-Sporting Lisbon encounter was shown).

The
second leg, on November 5th, was played at Turin’s Stadio Communale.
Real Madrid was unchanged from the previous encounter, while
for Juventus Scirea was still missing. Nicola Caricola started as Libero for
Juventus.
Juventus
was expected to attack at home. Beenhakker chose to employ a zonal defense for
Real.
Juventus
were excellent in the first fifteen minutes and leveled the aggregate as early
as the 9th minute.

Massimo
Mauro, from the right side touchline, dribbled past Gallego and crossed across
the goalmouth area it missed one Juve striker at the near post, but Cabrini
shot and scored from a narrow angle at the far post.
Laudrup
had a chance to increase Juventus’ lead. He missed a good chance, when he tried
to lob Buyo after being put clear by Cabrini.
In
a match where both goalkeepers excelled, Juventus could not break through
Real’s defense and just like the first leg, the home team won (1-0).

After
no scoring during the overtime, the match went into a penalty kick shoot-out.
In the shoot-out Real kept its cool, while Juve seemed more tired and fragile. Some Real players felt they knew they were going to win the shoot-out by the Juve players’ state, who appeared nervous and broken.

Despite
missing its first attempt by the normally reliable Sanchez, Real scored its
next three attempts. For Juventus only Vignola was successful with his attempt.
Marchesi
explained that many of his players were not up to taking the spot kicks, such
as Serena. Others like Cabrini had received a knock previously and did not want
to take a risk.

The
jubilant Beenhakker was diplomatic at the end, saying that Juventus had a
sensational defense, an exceptional goalkeeper and a tireless midfield with a
special praise for Mauro. He declared that his goal was to make Real Madrid,
the new Ajax.
Afterwards
Juventus Owner Gianni Agnelli, was asked if he would like to acquire Butragueno
for Juventus. His response was that at that price only Silvio Berlusconi could
afford him.

For
Juventus, this elimination was a further sign of their decline. They had been
slipping for some time. Platini retired at the end of the season and they would
have to wait nearly a decade to get back to their standing.
Real
Madrid advanced to the semifinals before being eliminated. In fact this
generation under Beenhakker would reach the semifinals for three straight
seasons, but miss out the final step.
