The penalty shoot-out in Bari on 29 May 1991, after a final that finished goalless.
The team
Red Star had been building the side since the mid eighties, mostly from their own academy and from clubs elsewhere in Yugoslavia. Dejan Savicevic and Robert Prosinecki were the players the rest of Europe had come to watch. Sinisa Mihajlovic, Darko Pancev and Vladimir Jugovic were in the same team.
They had knocked out Bayern Munich in the semi-final, on an own goal in the last minute in Munich.
The final
Marseille were the other first-time finalists. Neither side scored in ninety minutes or in extra time, and the match is generally remembered as a poor one.
Red Star won the shoot-out five three. Manuel Amoros missed for Marseille. Pancev scored the last one.
What happened next
On 25 June, less than four weeks later, Slovenia and Croatia declared independence. The wars that followed lasted most of the decade.
The squad was sold within a year: Savicevic and Pancev to Italy, Prosinecki to Spain, Mihajlovic and Jugovic soon after. Clubs from the rump Yugoslavia were banned from European competition from 1992 to 1995 under United Nations sanctions.
What is left
Red Star still exist and still play in Belgrade. Yugoslavia does not.
It is the only European Cup won by a club from that country, and it was won by a team of players who came from parts of it that stopped being the same country a month later.
