The Spanish newspaper "Marca" returned to the final of the 1981 edition of the European Champions League, which brought together Real Madrid and Liverpool in the French capital, Paris, 41 years ago.

On May 27, 1981, and before the final match with Liverpool, the "Royal" had many changes, most notably the team's uniform.

Al-Mirenghi abandoned his white uniform completely, and wore - for the first time - a uniform with 3 purple stripes on the sleeves and the sides of the pants.

Before the match, Real Madrid broke a 79-year-old tradition with an "Adidas" kit for 17 million pesetas, the Spanish currency at the time, (more than 100,000 euros).

However, the new Real Madrid shirts did not bear the logo of the sports supplies giant in the final match that was held - at the time - in the "Park of the Princes", due to the laws of the European Football Association (UEFA) that imposed television restrictions that prevented advertising of clothes.

Because of the laws, Liverpool had to cover the logo of the English company "Umbro" with white patches.

"There was an hour before the final, and we were walking around with scissors and white patches covering each other's shirts," said former Liverpool player Alan Kennedy.

And he continued, "Liverpool coach, Bob Paisley, was urging his players to focus on the match and forget about the advertisements."

It is noteworthy that Liverpool won the match with a single goal scored by Kennedy himself.

Tonight, Real Madrid is looking to consolidate its record of 13 titles, while Liverpool want to win the cup for the seventh time.
