The 1985âÂÂ86 European Cup was the 31st season of the European Cup, UEFA's premier club football competition. The European Champion Clubs' Cup was won by Steaua BucureÃÂti on penalties in the final against Barcelona. Steaua 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. The Albanian champions 17 Nëntori were disqualified following a ban in the previous CWC edition.
The draw for the first round of the European competitions took place in Geneva on Thursday 4 July 1985 at 12 CEST. Restrictions based on seedings and geography were unilaterally decided by the UEFA.
