History

Yugoslav period: (1955–1991)

In Yugoslav period, Partizan made great success in European competitions. Certainly the greatest success was achieved in 1965–66 season, when Partizan's babies reached the 1966 European Cup final. During that period, Partizan played in European Cup, Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and UEFA Cup.

On 4 September 1955, Partizan participated in the first ever Champions Cup match, in Lisbon against Sporting CP. The final result was 3–3, with Miloš Milutinović becoming the first scorer in a most prestigious club competition in Europe. In return leg, Partizan defeated Sporting 5–2 and reached quarter-finals. Miloš Milutinović scored four goals on that match. In quarter-finals, Partizan played against Real Madrid (who later won the competition). In first match, Real Madrid defeated Partizan 4–0 in front of 105,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. In return leg, Partizan won 3–0. Miloš Milutinović with eight goals was top scorer in European Cup.

The 1965–66 European Cup campaign was the crown of this generation's career. After eliminating French Nantes (2–0, 2–2) and German champion Werder Bremen (3–0, 1–0) in the first two rounds, Partizan were drawn against Sparta Prague in the quarter-finals. In the first leg, held in Prague, Partizan suffered a hard 4–1 defeat. Although they were not given any chances in the return leg in Belgrade, Partizan pulled off a convincing 5–0 win in front of 50,000 spectators, and with aggregate score 6–4 qualified for the semifinals. The semi-finals would see Partizan taking part in an emotional tie that would bring Manchester United, in their first season back in the European Cup after the Munich air disaster, returning to the scene of their final game, at the JNA Stadium, before embarking on that fateful journey home (on the way home from a European Cup quarter-final victory against Red Star, which was played at JNA Stadium, the aircraft carrying the Manchester United players, officials and journalists crashed while attempting to take off after refuelling in Munich).Manchester United, led by George Best and Bobby Charlton, awaited finally them on the last step to the finals.
