The season 1984–85 of the European Cup football club tournament was won for the first time by Juventus in a close final against defending champions Liverpool. However, the result was left meaningless after the deaths of 39 spectators in the Heysel Stadium disaster. English clubs were banned for five years, with four-times champions Liverpool banned for six.

This ended a period of great success for English clubs in the European Cup that had taken place since 1977. Not until 1999 did another English club win the trophy.
