How did Barcelona clinch their first Champions League title?

After living in the shadows of archrivals Real Madrid since the start of Europe's premier club competition, Barcelona finally reached hallowed grounds in 1992.

Coached by the legendary Johann Cruyff, Barcelona coasted to the finals but had a tough nut to crack in Sampdoria which paraded current Italy manager Roberto Mancini.

After a goalless draw in regulation time, the finals headed to 30 minutes of extra-time where the winner was eventually decided.

Ronald Koeman, who had carved a niche for himself as a freekick specialist, scored the game's only goal in the 112th minute via his trademark set-piece.
