The 1982 European Cup final was played on 26 May 1982 at the end of the 1981–82 European Cup season. Football League First Division winners Aston Villa defeated Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich 1–0 at De Kuip in Rotterdam, Netherlands, to win their first (and to date only) European Cup; this continued the streak of English teams winning the competition in six straight seasons.

Summary

After 10 minutes, Aston Villa goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer suffered a repeat of a recurring shoulder injury. His replacement, Nigel Spink, subsequently made his second first team appearance for the club.[1] His performance in helping prevent Bayern from scoring throughout the match was highly praised, and is seen by many as the making of a player who would be Villa's first choice goalkeeper for the following 10 seasons.[2]

Bayern did find the net with three minutes of play remaining, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Villa also got the ball in the net for a second time a few seconds before the end of the match but this goal was also disallowed.

Brian Moore's commentary of the winning goal is displayed on a giant banner across the Doug Ellis Stand of Villa Park:

Shaw, Williams prepared to venture down the left. There's a good ball in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be and it is! It's Peter Withe.

As defending European champions, Villa were invited into the European Cup, European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup for the following season. Their defence of the European Cup ended in a quarter-final defeat to Juventus. They beat Barcelona 3–1 on aggregate to win the Super Cup, but lost 2–0 to Uruguayan club Peñarol for the Intercontinental Cup in Tokyo, Japan.

After the game, a number of players swapped shirts; Peter Withe and Nigel Spink later received their shirts back.[3][4] As of 2024, captain Dennis Mortimer is still looking for his shirt.[5]
