The European Champion Clubs' Cup was won by Steaua București on penalties in the final against Barcelona . Steaua București became the first Eastern Bloc side to win the tournament. The final was decided mainly by goalkeeper Helmut Duckadam , who (after keeping a clean sheet in the final) saved all four of Barcelona's penalties to secure the cup.
Juventus , the defending champions, were eliminated by Barcelona in the quarter-finals.
No clubs from England were entered into the competition during this year, owing to a ban from European competition in light of the Heysel Stadium disaster . Had the ban not been imposed, Everton would have represented England.
