EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the European Cup Semi Final First leg match at the Rheinstadion in Dusseldorf. The year is 1978, and Borussia Moenchengladbach is facing off against Liverpool. As the players line up for the exchange of pennants before kick-off, two iconic captains meet in a moment of sportsmanship that defines the spirit of football. Emlyn Hughes, captain of Liverpool, extends his hand towards Berti Vogts, captain of Moenchengladbach. Their handshake symbolizes mutual respect and sets an example for fair play on the field. Little did they know that this encounter would be etched into history as a pivotal moment in their teams' journey towards glory. Although Moenchengladbach emerged victorious with a narrow 2-1 win during this first leg match, it was Liverpool who ultimately triumphed by winning 3-0 in the second leg at Anfield. This victory propelled them to their second consecutive European Cup Final. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Williams from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of these legendary teams but also of an era when formalities like exchanging pennants were cherished traditions within football. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst fierce competition, camaraderie and sportsmanship can unite rivals on and off the pitch.
