No British dub has ever won the cup. Internationale, winner for the last two seasons, will play Ferencvaros (Hungary) if it beats Dynamo Bucharest in their second leg match in Milan. Real Madrid, which has won the trophy five times, will play Anderiecht (Belgium).
In the European Cup Winners* Cup quarter-finals, the holder. West Ham United, meets Aufbau Magdeburg (East Germany). Dynamo Kiev, Russia’s first representative in a major European soccer competition, is drawn to play Glasgow Celtic. The other semi-finals will be between Liverpool, Britain’s third dub in the last eight, against Hohved (Hungary), and Atletico Madrid v. Borussia Bortmund.
