The 1991 European Cup Final was a football match held at the Stadio San Nicola in Bari, Italy, on 29 May 1991, that saw Red Star Belgrade of Yugoslavia[a] defeat Olympique Marseille of France in a penalty shootout. After normal time and extra time could not separate the two sides, the match was to be decided on penalty kicks. Manuel Amoros's miss for the French side proved crucial, as Red Star held their nerve to win their first European Cup.

Lead-up to the match

Red Star arrived to Italy unusually early, on Thursday, 23 May 1991, six full days ahead of the final. The team and its entourage stayed in the town of Monopoli, 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-east of Bari. There they trained at the facilities of A.C. Monopoli.[citation needed]
