UEFA Champions League - Steaua Bucuresti







Most veterans of the European Cup era would remember Steaua as 1986 Champions, and may just recall the 1986 final. After an infamous 120 minutes of football, Barcelona famously failed to score any of their penalties in the resultant shoot out.




Goal nets fans may choose to remember Steaua for the gorgeous sloping stanchions at their old Stadionul Steaua.

FC Dinamo Bucharest






Wanted to do a Hot Tub Time Machine on Romania's UCL representative CFR Cluj but your local pub team's probably uploaded more of their vintage footage to youtube than most sides in the old Romania Divizia A.

There's plenty of Dinamo Bucharest, however. About the same time as Nadia Comaneci was setting a new standard in shape as a form of human expression, the Red Dogs were cutting a groove in stanchions shape.



Not as curvy as Anderlecht or Real Madrid, but not as straight as any A-frames A-lister, would the closest match be the old Heysel Stadium?
