"gladbach have reached one European Cup final in their history so have Roma, hardly European power houses then, and that tells you exactly the strength of European football in the late 70s early 80s when winning the English League title virtually guaranteed a team a place in at least the semi finals.
The fact Nottingham Forest have won twice as many European Cups than league titles puts it into perspective.
Before Liverpool met Brugge in the 78 final they played 6 games (that's games not ties) in the competition and lost two of those.
By far the weakest period in European Cup football history
You are correct about one thing though Madrid were absolutely pathetic then.
