List of alternate UEFA Champions League winners 1955/1956-2014/2015

1986: Everton, England.

The 1985 Football League champions were barred from Europe because of the Heysel tragedy. It was an excellent team - they'd win the League again in 1987 - but never had the chance to compete at the highest level, having won the Cup Winners Cup as well in 1985.

Without Heysel there's a very good chance Liverpool could have won the 1985 final and ended up in the 1986 tournament. As they won the English double in '86 they would also have had a very big shout as potential winners.

(considering that I'm a staunch Benfica supporter, it's almost treasonous of me to suggest an ATL where Eusébio chose Sporting. The King is probably rolling in his grave but he'll understand that AH is just for fun :))

Fair point. Juventus had a good team, mind.

Everton had some momentum, though, and signed Lineker for the 1986 season. Both sides could have done very well.

Would have been an interesting final if they'd both got there. Liverpool won at Goodison (3-2) but lost 2-0 at Anfield in the league and we obviously also beat Everton in the cup final too.

Without the tragedy of Heysel the 1985 final could have been a real classic - Juventus had a good side while Liverpool were Europe's dominant side at the time (four wins plus the '85 final in nine years).

Same, but if they had a reasoning then maybe they would get away with it.
