Borussia wins the UEFA Round of 16 first leg of the 1985/86 season against Real Madrid 5:1. Frank Mill, Hans-Jörg Criens, Uwe Rahn, Ewald Lienen and Madrid's Salguero (own goal) score for VfL and turn the Düsseldorf Rheinstadion into a madhouse. Before the return match in front of 100,000 spectators in the witch's cauldron of the Bernabéu, VfL President Dr. Helmut Beyer nevertheless suspects: "This will be hell". He was proved right, Jupp Heynckes' team lost 0:4 and experienced a "black night in Madrid". In the end, Borussia is left with the memories of a great first leg and only the gift of the Madrilenians - an ashtray.
