Barça claim the European Super Cup title against Borussia Dortmund
It was the European Super Cup claimed against German side Borussia Dortmund. In the first leg played at Camp Nou on 8 January 1998, Barça had won 2-0 thanks to goals from current coach Luis Enrique and Rivaldo. That win put them on the road to claiming the trophy and two months later in the Westfalen Stadion the blaugranes picked a 1-1 draw that was enough to give them the title. At the time the Super Cup pitted the Cup Winners’ Cup champions against the Champions League holders over two legs. Giovanni gave the visitors the lead in just the 7th minute with Heinrich levelling things up after 65 minutes. The Barça 11 that day was formed by Hesp; Ferrer, Nadal, Bogarde; Luís Enrique (Ciric, m. 89), Celades (Amor, m. 79), Sergi; Figo, Giovanni, Rivaldo; Anderson (Òscar, m. 71).
