The 1990 UEFA Cup Final was a football tie played on 2 May 1990 and 16 May 1990 between Juventus F.C. and ACF Fiorentina of Italy. Juventus won 3–1 on aggregate. This was the first final between two Italian sides in the UEFA competitions history and the third between two clubs of the same country.
The first game was the last ever official soccer game played at the Stadio Comunale.
The second game was played in Avellino because Fiorentina's substitute stadium in Perugia was closed after the incidents in the semifinal game against Werder Bremen.
Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or final:
“I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.”
—Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)
“Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual motivating force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses ... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces—in the beginning, there was spice.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
