I am Austrian, 12 years young back then ... I was a SUPER LEEDS UNITED FAN! Loved their game - and notice - it was 1975 - sooo different to "know" or "watch" a foreign soccer club ... and I love all the super players ... in that time LEEDS UNITED just had only NATION TEAM PLAYERS in the team! England - Wales - Scotland - Northern Ireland just heros in the team! And remember or let you tell you (younger readers :-) ) WE HAD THAT SUPER-SEMIFINAL: REAL MADRID - BAYERN MÜNCHEN ...

LEEDS dominated the whole match ... Bayern came 2-times before the LEEDS goalkeeper ... and scored 2 goals ... well ... then the Leeds fans oer "fans" droped down to the field their plastic seats ... and MY SUPER CLUB WAS BANNED FROM INTERNATIONAL GAMES for years ... all the stars left LEEDS UNITED of course ... A SUPER TIME OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL ... Ajax ... Bayern ... Leeds ... Barcelona .... Real ... I WILL ALWYS REMEMBER MY STARS OF FOOTBAL IN THESE 1970s ... ♥
Magic?? The defenders stupidly used to go all way backwards to defend against long high balls shot from midfield, instead of establishing an offside line. And terrible passing precision, the pitch was not so bad and the ball was already made out of polymers, but the players were playing as if they were in a horse corral and as the ball were a coconut.
@@mor4665 I'd say the game was higher-paced back then than npwadays for 90% of the time. nothing high-paced about square or bckward passes round the middle of the pitch or in own half - which is what many teams do for 90% of the time nowadays
@@mattylamb9194 yeah, you’re right actually, i should’ve just some people prefer to watch a game before the new 1998 fifa rules, it was definitely more entertaining back then, lot more injuries though
OMG I remember that night, 15 years old. Listened on an old wireless & then watched it on tv later. Did anyone ever hit a ball sweeter than Lorimer did that night? What a night, what a team, what fantastic memories
I've never seen this , but with so few English clubs winning in Barcelona l think Liverpool are the only English team to win there.leeds United must of got a draw.
I remember watching this on the box and cheering Leeds on. Back in the days when one always cheered the English League Champions. Me a Chelsea fan too. Must admit I always liked this Leeds side. Not a single bad player on the pitch.
All that effort only to be robbed blind in the final. I was at the first leg with my Dad. I was only 14 years old at the time. Still remember it today.
Well Don Revie really. Was all his team he had just left. Good it was all the Revie greats that they finally got the final to be cheated out of it. Usual Leeds luck.
@@seltaeb3302 Revie had left long before this. The season started with Brian Clough's eventful spell as Leeds manager. Most of this team had been assembled by Revie, though.
cant understand how jimmy armfield was great? average no better than say a championship winner of burnley or ipswich in the 60s..blackpool was his level..was an arsekisser to the bbc because he was on the radio..no other club would mention his name
The rumours are very strong they were cheated in the Final. Put it this way, a German near Lorimar was impressed by his brilliant goal, and felt Leeds were robbed when it got disallowed. Similiar happened in Athens 2 years before in the CWC Final. Greek crowd were angry when Milan tried a lap of "honour". At least Leeds have 2 Fairs Cups to their credit.
Pretty idiotic, really. Put Leeds under more pressure than they already were. It's one thing to launch one during an unimportant league game on a rainy Tuesday night in Stoke, but when you're fighting for your life in a 'Big Cup' semifinal in the Nou Camp against Cryuff and Neeskens, you need all the help - and luck - you can get. Certainly don't need to be down a man. Plus, he missed the final. Not a smart move...
European nights are not what they used to be. Just the sound of the commentary makes my eyes wet, let alone the football. Proper players out there, not self proclaimed primadonas in rolls royces.
Actually the iconic Leeds Utd No.9 was Mick Jones who is the forgotten man of Leeds. He was the main out & out striker for Leeds in their great years. Suggest you read up more.
My Dad supported Leeds, I supported Burnley at age 12, we would go to Leeds one week, Burnley the next. Kids would stand right on the wall literally about 6 feet from the touchline, Ralph Coates and Steve Kindon flying down the wing almost within touching distance. Burnley had a great team tehn fantastic attacking football. Moved to London when I was 18 and started supporting West Ham, Moore, Hurst, Billy Bonds, more great players. We would stand on the North Bank crammed in, the crowd swaying, moving up and down when there was a shot or a save, singing Bubbles, the adrenaline was incredible. They killed the game for me when it went all seating, just not the same now.
i remember going to Turf Moor with Leeds in the 70s...We were in the Longside and the Leeds fan in front of us got hit by a dart...!! Fighting all the way to and from the ground and again in Blackpool after the game with Newcastle Fans... Great days.. I was in paris too for the final in 1975, a spotty 17 year old.. we hitch hiked to paris and we slept on gare Du Nord station... and on the Monday morning after England played Scotland at wembley, all the Scots came over to support Leeds, it was scary hearing them coming down the platform with the bagpipes playing

From late 60s to 75 unreal how many times leeds came runners up my first memories of them was 85 when they came to st andrews for last game not sure why but always liked them

I still get nervous watching this. The night it was playing i was a total nervous wreck. I so SO wanted to go to Paris and see my beloved Leeds United in the final which i did.
And don't forget...all British managers. Armfield, Revie, Paisley, Stein, Shankley and Clough etc. An all-British team with a British manager would have appeared in many World and European finals back then. And unlike Holland, they would have probably have won a couple.
As usual best team keeds did not win the big title. The leeds team, which "dominated" the late sixties and early seventies, won surprisingly little. Being runners up is being losers.
I remember watching the highlights of the same . It was nail being stuff, especially for a 12 year old football enthusiast . How the game and times have changed . I fall.asleep watching British teams allowing European players play passing game , boring the position to defeat.
The Belgian referee who officiated the Final between Leeds and Bayern Munich was sacked for taking bribes a few years after that game. Bent bastard, it was obvious he was bought for that game too without a doubt.
@@maxsch8454 For all history, there's a team who deserved to win a European Cup absolutely cheated out it. You NEVER get over it even if you don't support that club. Disgusting.
As a young lad of10 and from Liverpool and a Liverpool supporter i remember watching this with me dad and granddad we wanted Leeds to win but the shear physicality of both teams was fantastic it was 70s football brilliant Barcelona were a very dirty team but Leeds were crafty and could handle everything they gave them, we were glad Leeds won but that’s how i remember 70s football hard but honest and a good few fights in between 👍👍👍🏴
That Barca team was not that good. they were 2nd from bottom when Cruyff went there. Many Spanish footballers were skilful but inferiority complex underachievers. Cruyff's glory days were with Ajax, when he and they, were untouchable. After the 74 world cup, he was still a brilliant player but didn't dominate world football as he had done. Something went missing, Mind you, he beat England all by himself in 1977.
@@michaelcollins3091Spain in 75 was a strange country in change, as was Barcelona. Franco on his way out and Barca on its way up. Back in the Netherlands we were able to see MOTD too. What a trip that’s been. Sad to see Leeds relegated, they played such wonderful dynamic game.
"We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter." Denis Diderot French philosopher 1713, 1784.

Not quite right. Brain Moore quite clearly says that the ref is 'looking at his Austrian watch' towards the end of the game! Didn't even know they made 'em!
You mention a team, Forest that did not even play in this period. Then you list teams like Derby, Arsenal, Liverpool who all had uncomprimising players. Leeds didn't just try to play football, they were the best footballing side in the country, by a long fucking way
Oh Leeds were dirty and had class too. They had Hunter and they had Eddie Gray, who took a lot of fouls, they were a mix, neither angels nor devils overall. Forest did play in that period, of course, though not at top level- then Clough and Taylor worked wonders.
Fancy Barca trying to mix it with Leeds the toughest team from the most physical league in Europe - not going to end well. I remember a European Game when a Red Star Belgrade player was kicking lumps from Graham Souness. When the ref back was turned Souness lumped him one and broke his jaw.

They could play. They couldnt beat Chelsea. In this match they actually played continental football not hoof ball English teams were known for at the time. Notice Barca played out from the back and they were no soft touch thr 1st leg was brutal. They had the legendary Cruyff and Neeskens and Brazils Marinho from the '74 world cup team that still contained some of the 1970 legends minus Pele.
I,VS SAID IT BEFORE THIS LEEDS TEAM WOULD HAVE BEAT ANYBODY [ INCLUDING BRASIL, FANTASTIC TEAM GREAT FOOTBALL, BEST ENGLISH CLUB TEAM EVER PLAYED CLASSIC FOOTBALL,
Football in the 70s years was much better than today´s, I am from Argentina, yes we are world champions but the Arg League is horrible, it has never been this bad......and to make things ever worse...I got old.
i had to listen to the match on BBC radio as we didn't have a TV at home i can still hear the commentator describe Billy Bremner kicking the ball off the line in last few minutes.
Notice how few times the ball is passed backwards, or how the players do not dive and feign injury. This is how football was meant to be played, not the boring technical shit we have to watch today.
Well stated. I truly prefer football from this era as opposed to the pass, pass, pass crap served up in this era. There is more thrilling action in 22 minutes in this video than in most European matches in 90 minutes.
Yes, there ought to be rules: 1. the ball can only be passed forwards, and 2. no player should be able to control/hit/pass a standard ball in any controlled way. You will be happy.
Это был самый не справедливый жребий в полуфинале кубка чемпионов. Лидс и Барселона должны были встретится финале. Как результат не справедливым был и счет в финале,Бавария Лид 2:0.
Bremner was Leeds United's greatest soldier. He took the knocks without crying and could give as good as he got. Will never see another like him in a Leeds United shirt in my lifetime.
Brian Moore commentates on 2nd leg, but Coleman on the 1st. Odd that ITV and Beeb should split the games. Or was one of the vids I've seen here not 'live' but a highlights package?
Just depended on which channel was scheduled to show european football on that particular night. Unlike now, in the 70's 80's etc bbc and itv both showed european football. I think generally bbc and itv would alternate between each leg. BBC Sportsnight ITV The midweek match/midweek sport special.
Lorimer said "Cheating is the only way to describe what went on at the Parc de Princes 40 years ago. Sorry if that offends anyone but it’s how we felt. When it comes to apportioning blame, you’ve got to point the finger at the referee first and foremost. Great player though he was, Beckenbauer was well known for getting in the ears of referees. It’s what he did. I’d seen it when he played for Bayern and I’d seen it when he played for Germany. I’m still convinced that he was responsible for persuading the officials to disallow my goal in the second half. Uli Hoeness, their forward, was interviewed on TV and asked about 1975. In his own words, he said that the result was a travesty. The better team lost and they lost for no other reason than the performance of the referee. I can’t disagree.”
Brian Moore...The sound of his voice is pure football nostalgia.

I was in paris too for the final in 1975, a spotty 17 year old.. we hitch hiked to paris and we slept on gare Du Nord station... and on the Monday morning after England played Scotland at wembley on the previous Saturday ( 1-5...!!!), all the Scots came over to support Leeds, it was scary hearing them coming down the platform with the bagpipes playing and them singing
GREAT DAYS
Ahhhh .... tantos años,la felicidad la misma.
They could play. They couldnt beat Chelsea. In this match they actually played continental football not hoof ball English teams were known for at the time. Notice Barca played out from the back and they were no soft touch thr 1st leg was brutal. They had the legendary Cruyff and Neeskens and Brazils Marinho from the '74 world cup team that still contained some of the 1970 legends minus Pele.
I,VS SAID IT BEFORE THIS LEEDS TEAM WOULD HAVE BEAT ANYBODY [ INCLUDING BRASIL, FANTASTIC TEAM GREAT FOOTBALL, BEST ENGLISH CLUB TEAM EVER PLAYED CLASSIC FOOTBALL,
Great team..but theres only one team who were the greatest club team and that is beyond doubt..Liverpool.
given what happened in the final looks a lot like some strange decisions in the two games with Barca
Football in the 70s years was much better than today´s, I am from Argentina, yes we are world champions but the Arg League is horrible, it has never been this bad......and to make things ever worse...I got old.
Thanks for not posting the score in the title. There are so many that do.....but I can only think no one ever slapped 'em for doing so in real life.
leeds were the master of english football .
Mark Quinn well until Liverpool won 4 European Cups within 7 years
And brawling.
3 League titles, 0 European Cups
@jackr5407 I'm on about the 1975 final when we was clearly ripped of. Ffs
@@vantheman12welshman66 I'm on about 1975 final when we was ripped off ffs.
i had to listen to the match on BBC radio as we didn't have a TV at home i can still hear the commentator describe Billy Bremner kicking the ball off the line in last few minutes.
Notice how few times the ball is passed backwards, or how the players do not dive and feign injury. This is how football was meant to be played, not the boring technical shit we have to watch today.
Well stated. I truly prefer football from this era as opposed to the pass, pass, pass crap served up in this era. There is more thrilling action in 22 minutes in this video than in most European matches in 90 minutes.
Yes, there ought to be rules: 1. the ball can only be passed forwards, and 2. no player should be able to control/hit/pass a standard ball in any controlled way. You will be happy.
Cruyff, the "greatest player in the world" played the first minute in the 1974 WCF and mailed it in over both legs of this tie.
RIP to the great Gordon McQueen. Brilliant left hook, brilliant player!
Это был самый не справедливый жребий в полуфинале кубка чемпионов.
Лидс и Барселона должны были встретится финале.
Как результат не справедливым был и счет в финале,Бавария Лид 2:0.
PFF! Right from the start the man tells us that Leeds Utd got through . . . I was hoping o be surprised without knowing the outcome before watching
On French TV they tell you the final result then show highlights. So stupid
nice upload
OH how I do miss a good kicking match, the good old days.
What a left hook by McQueen Ali and Henry Cooper would've been proud of that and I'm a Arsenal fan.
,20:50
that foul on bremner at 13.43. christ.
Norman Hunter would've been proud (if it wasn't on Bremner)
straight red...
Straight red today
David Marcu - Yeak like Leeds were the cleanest team in football history
Bremner was Leeds United's greatest soldier. He took the knocks without crying and could give as good as he got. Will never see another like him in a Leeds United shirt in my lifetime.
This game (and especially Barcelona) is more like how I play Fifa than a real European Cup game! lol
Bremner was immense that night.
Brian Moore commentates on 2nd leg, but Coleman on the 1st. Odd that ITV and Beeb should split the games. Or was one of the vids I've seen here not 'live' but a highlights package?
Just depended on which channel was scheduled to show european football on that particular night. Unlike now, in the 70's 80's etc bbc and itv both showed european football. I think generally bbc and itv would alternate between each leg. BBC Sportsnight ITV The midweek match/midweek sport special.

They lost. Where are all the Spanish players?
Lorimer said "Cheating is the only way to describe what went on at the Parc de Princes 40 years ago. Sorry if that offends anyone but it’s how we felt. When it comes to apportioning blame, you’ve got to point the finger at the referee first and foremost. Great player though he was, Beckenbauer was well known for getting in the ears of referees. It’s what he did. I’d seen it when he played for Bayern and I’d seen it when he played for Germany. I’m still convinced that he was responsible for persuading the officials to disallow my goal in the second half. Uli Hoeness, their forward, was interviewed on TV and asked about 1975. In his own words, he said that the result was a travesty. The better team lost and they lost for no other reason than the performance of the referee. I can’t disagree.”
Trying quoting Hoeness about the Yorath foul.
Cry me a river, Lorimer... sour grapes because you were never close to Franz's class😅
@@carlkontermann5637 Beckenbauer was the referee that night in Paris. The man in black was only carrying the whistle.
