NK Rijeka - UEFA Cup 1985

The year of great injustice; Rijeka smashed Real Valladolid (0:1, 4:1) and the huge Real Madrid in the first game (3:1). But, three (!) red cards and a string of dubious decisions by the game referees destroyed Rijeka in Madrid. However, even with 8 players only on the field, "Bijeli" (the whites) fell short for one goal alone!
