[2] Galatasaray was the big killer of this season after knocking out AC Milan (QF), Anderlecht (SF) before winning the final over Feyenoord in London.
[3] Knattspyrnufélagið Valur was once again the underdogs in the 1969-70 season, but with even more big killings such as Benfica and Ajax, with the help of the cold weather in Iceland giving the title in a beneficial era for Iceland football.

[5] After already being delayed for one hour due to excessive riots, the final at Heysel Stadium in Brussels was abandoned only two minutes into the match with a score of 0-0.

Due to this tragedy, no winner was declared in the 1985 European Cup final.

[6] Italian clubs are banned from Europe following the Heysel tragedy. The final has Diego Maradona scoring a hat-trick.
 
So I'm guessing the ban on Italian teams following the Heysel tragedy was lifted if AC Milan made it to the final? Also, I'll just go ahead and counter your Duisburg-wank in the 1990 final. :D ;)

IOTL the 1988-89 Milan side was probably the best ever club team*: presumably the post-Heysel ban on Italian sides has led van Basten, Gullitt, Rijkaard, and the rest to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

* Though the best ever performance was by their 1994 successors against a heavily fancied Barcelona in the 1994 final

[2] Galatasaray was the big killer of this season after knocking out AC Milan (QF), Anderlecht (SF) before winning the final over Feyenoord in London.
[3] Knattspyrnufélagið Valur was once again the underdogs in the 1969-70 season, but with even more big killings such as Benfica and Ajax, with the help of the cold weather in Iceland giving the title in a beneficial era for Iceland football.
[4] Thus making Manchester United the first team to defend the European Cup.
[5] After already being delayed for one hour due to excessive riots, the final at Heysel Stadium in Brussels was abandoned only two minutes into the match with a score of 0-0. In the end, 39 people died and over 600 were injured during confrontations between English and Italian fans in the 'neutral area' of the stadium. Due to this tragedy, no winner was declared in the 1985 European Cup final.
[6] Italian clubs are banned from Europe following the Heysel tragedy. The final has Diego Maradona scoring a hat-trick.
[7] Defending champions MSV Duisburg were quickly reduced to 9 men after 2 red cards within the first 10 minutes of the match. A 3rd red card during the 2nd half, as well as no less than 4 penalty kicks in total awarded to Dnipropetrovsk, caused German magazines Bild and Der Spiegel to make all sorts of accusations, from the Soviets bribing the match officials to the Austrian referee being a communist. Nothing was ever proven of course, and the 1990 final remains one the most lopsided matches in European Cup history.
[8] In the first final of the Champions League era, MSV Duisburg made up for the thrashing defeat at the hands of Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk three years prior.
