Benfica vs Bayer Leverkusen History

In the 1960s As Aguias dominated the European game, with the Portuguese giants competing in no fewer than five European Cup finals in the decade. They triumphed in the first two of these, holding aloft the trophy in 1961 and 1962. However, subsequent losses came in 1963, 1965 and 1968. Prolific marksman Eusebio was in his pomp during this spell, and Benfica had to wait a while to reach the same lofty heights. They did so in both 1988 and 1990, once again finishing as losing finalists, this time at the hands of PSV Eindhoven and AC Milan, respectively.

Bayer Leverkusen’s first foray into UEFA’s showpiece tournament came in 1997/98 when Die Werkself reached the Quarter-Finals of the competition before being dumped out by Real Madrid. In 2001/02, they progressed all the way to the final, where they once again met Los Blancos, with Klaus Toppmoller’s side losing out 2-1 thanks to a spectacular volleyed winner from Zinedine Zidane at Glasgow’s Hampden Park.
