In the off-season they had lost Danish midfielder Soren Lerby, but West German international Andreas Brehme had been signed from Kaiserslautern to great effect.
The team with the eccentric Belgian goalkeeper, Jean-Marie Pfaff, was led in defense by skipper Klaus Aughentaler.
With new added responsibility, due to Lerby’s departure, Lothar Matthaus was the undisputed leader in midfield with Ronald Wohlfarth and veteran striker Dieter Hoeness leading the attack.
Bayern had eliminated Ruud Gullit’s PSV Eindhoven, Toni Polster’s Austria Vienna and Enzo Scifo’s Anderlecht in successive rounds.
Real Madrid managed by Dutchman Leo Beenhakker, in his first year with the club, was in its glory with the legendary ‘El Quinta del Buitre’ as its nucleus.
Emilio Butragueno, Michel and Sanchis were in their prime with Mexican goalscoring machine Hugo Sanchez on his way to his third straight Pichichi award.
They had recently lost Argentine striker Jorge Valdano to Hepatitis, but were nevertheless in great form.
They had eliminated Switzerland’s Young Boys Bern, Platini’s Juventus and Yugoslavia’s Red Star Belgrade.
They had won the two previous editions of the UEFA Cup and their last defeat in Europe was vs. Sparta Prague in the fall of 1983.

The first leg, on April 8th, was played in Munich’s Olympiastadion.
Real were missing goalscorer Sanchez. In customary fashion they lost the away tie knowing they could overturn most deficits at home.
Udo Latteck had instructed his players to attack and run a high score due to the knowledge that this Madrid side could overcome any lead.
Klaus Aughentaler started the scoring in the 7th minute from a long-range shot.
In the 30th minute, Buyo was adjudged to have fouled Dorfner in the box, although the offense did not look like a penalty.
Matthaus scored from the ensuing spot kick.
This incident angered the Spanish who became more physical.
With Real angry and in disarray, Wohlfarth scored a third in the 37th minute.
In the 39th minute, Chendo fouled Matthaus, while the referee was preparing a yellow, Juanito stamped on Matthaus.
He was immediately sent off.

Though with ten men, Butragueno pulled a goal back for Real just before halftime to give them some hope, especially for the return leg.
In the 52nd minute, a goal bound header by Hoeness saved on line by Mino by hand for another penalty kick that was scored once again by Matthaus.

Real defender Mino was booked in the 65th minute for a foul on Aughhntaler. Eight minutes later he was sent off after another foul on Wohlfarth.
After Mino’s dismissal, defender Jesus Solana replaced Carlos Santillana.
Camacho assumed captaincy following Santillana’s exit.
Despite the heavy loss the outcome was far from certain due to Real’s famous second leg comebacks.

For the return leg on April 22nd at Madrid’s Bernabeu, promised to be a tense affair with the ill temper remaining from the first leg.
Juanito and Mino were suspended, however, Hugo Sanchez was back to lead the attack and the suspensions paved the way for Rafael Martin Vasquez to start.
Bayern had Matthaus missing through suspension. Dorfner and Rummenigge were also missing, as Latteck preferred a more defensive formation, with additions such as Helmut Winklhofer and Ludwig Kogl and Lunde starting.
Real came out in their usual irresistible home form and attacked from the onset.
After a few minutes of play, Real fans threw golf balls and other objects. Referee Michel Vautrot stopped the match momentarily and threatened to call off the match if calm was not restored.

After Santillana scored in the 28th minute, most believed this would open the floodgates. However, Pfaff had one of his best ever games and made numerous saves and resisted all Real could throw at him.
In the 30th minute, Bayern captain Aughentaler was sent off after a foul on Sanchez and his subsequent play-acting.
Nachtweith moved to the center of defense to compensate the loss, with Hoeness assuming captaincy.
Madrid did not score another goal and were eliminated.

Real Madrid had been eliminated for the first time since 1983 and for once the magic had not worked.
Bayern advanced to the Final, however they lost to Portugal’s Porto with an emerging Paulo Futre and Rabah Madjer’s backheel.
Due to its poor discipline in these ties (fans and players), Real were penalized by UEFA for the following season.
For the first round, they were forced to play the home leg in an empty stadium. For the second round, they were forced to play the home leg in another Spanish city’s stadium.
In the following season, the teams were paired once again, this time in the quarterfinals. Real managed to qualify by losing to Bayern 2 to 3 and winning at home 2 to 0.
