27 May 1987: when FC Porto first conquered Europe in a comeback v Bayern | OneFootball

On May 27, 1987, FC Porto won the European Cup for the first time, beating Bayern Munich 2-1 in the final played in Vienna.

That Austrian night was forever etched in the club’s blue-and-white history. Facing one of the giants of European football, the Dragons responded with character after falling behind and completed the comeback with goals from Rabah Madjer and Juary, sealing one of the greatest achievements in the club’s history.

It was the first time FC Porto established itself at the summit of European football, in a triumph that marked a generation and opened up a new international dimension for the Porto emblem. The victory in Vienna became a symbol of ambition, talent, and competitive ability at the highest level.

Thirty-nine years on from that 1986/87 European Cup final, the victory over Bayern remains one of the most iconic moments in FC Porto’s history. The comeback completed by Madjer and Juary remains one of the club’s — and Portuguese football’s — timeless images.

May 27, 1987 therefore still holds a special place in Porto memory: the day FC Porto reached the top of Europe for the first time.
