FC Porto started the 1986-87 season with a target of completing a domistic hat-trick of League titles, though few supporters would ultimately care that this ambition would not be realised. This was a season in which domestic events were dwarfed by Porto's miraculous ascent to the summit of the European game as they became continental champions for the first time.
A straightforward run in the European Cup early rounds tookthe Portuguese side past Rabat Ajax, Vitkovice and Brondby but a powerful Dynamo Kievteam looked formidable semi-finals opponents. Porto raised their game and won both legs to take them into a Final date with Bayern Munich in Vienna.
Their task became even tougher when prolific striker Fernando Gomes, the man who had scored important throughout the campaign, broke his leg just a few days before the Final. The West Germans led by a single goal until the 79th minute when two strikes in two minutes from Rabah Madjer and Juary turned the game on its head and took the trophy to Portugal for the first time since 1963.
