Two magical evenings in Seville:

1)
7th May 1986...
FC STEAUA Bucharest meets FC Barcelona on the neutral stadium of FC Sevilla.
More than 90 minutes pass by with lots of action, but the two teams are equal...
In the end, it is bound for the penalty kicks to determine the winner....
Marius Lacatus is the first to score for STEAUA...
But he is not the only angel we've got.... The greatest one is between the posts... Helmuth Duckadam saves a penalty... and the second... he's got the third.... FOUR penalties in a row saved by STEAUA's goalkeeper and the Romanian team wins the Cup!!!

2)
17th March 2006...
Twenty years later...
Same city, different players in the field, watched by their angels from the crowd... Betis Sevilla are the toughest team STEAUA has met during this season of the UEFA Cup... After a 0-0 at home, the Romanian team has got nothing else to do, but score. The first half goes by with a lot of pressure from the Spanish players, Joaquin, Dani and the others menacing STEAUA's goalkeeper...
But here comes the 55th minute of the game, and team captain Mirel Radoi spots Banel Nicolita without his marker... There goes the pass... Banel receives, controls and shoots... GOOOAAAAL!!! Couple of minutes later forward Victoras Iacob kills Betis with a header, but it's all definite 5 minutes before full time when Banel kicks it in for a resounding 0-3.....
