The Milan side of 88 which won the european cup had gullit van basten maldini barasi and many more and wouldev won the European cup regardless of Liverpool  

[Jimmy]

Although I was only 2 at the time, I got the impression the Liverpool side of the 80's was the Barcelona of it's time (although the 88 side couldn't play in European Cup, if they could I would had thought they'd be one of the favorites?). So the equivalent would be Eibar (currently 8th in La Liga) beating Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey Final.

it was just a big shock, I wouldn't over think it with comparisons to Spain where the cup means little

That is not the case anymore Sybil Barcelona Madrid and athletico probably now take their cup more serious than the top English sides do indeed both athletico and Barca picked their best 11 fit players tonight

Way down the list.....but IPSWICH beating Arsenal on the other hand.....

I can't see one team beating another in a final as a cupset - if they were good enough to get to the final!

Arsenal finished 5th and Ipswich fifth from bottom. Roger Osborne's goal so knocked him out that he never achieved anything further in his career.

I didn't know the leauge positions however Ipswich were a team about to become very good
