The 1984–85 season of the European Cup club football tournament was won for the first time by Juventus in a close final against defending champions Liverpool, which was overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium disaster.

Following the disaster, English clubs received a five-year ban from entering any European competition, thus ending a period of great success for English clubs in the European Cup that had taken place since 1977. It was not until 1999 that another English club won the trophy when Manchester United stunned Bayern Munich in the dying seconds at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
