In The Citizens’ Den – 34 Years Later

It was a difficult start to a triumphant edition. Juventus met Manchester City on one occasion which dates back to the 1976/77 UEFA Cup, an edition which began with the two-legged encounter with the two clubs from Manchester in the round of 64 and round of 32. The bianconeri, who overcame the two English obstacles reached the final which they won against Athletic Bilbao in what was to be the first European triumph of a long series.

Against City, the match was a vibrant one and was decided by a header scored by Kidd one minute before half time. Giovanni Trapattoni, in what was his European debut with Juventus – an adventure which lasted a decade – fielded the following formation: Zoff, Cuccureddu, Gentile; Furino, Morini, Scirea; Causio, Tardelli, Bettega, Benetti, Marchetti.
