SK Rapid‘s European Journey 1995/96
Simon-Peter Charamza und Wolfgang Berger together with Soccernostalgia blogger Shahan Petrossian looked back on SK Rapid’s successful European campaign of 2005/06 in which Rapid Wien reached the Cup Winners’ Cup Final for the second time after 1985!

Video Interview-Part 50 / Podcast Part 65 – A video Interview and blog presentation with Austrian Blogger Mr. Wolfgang Berger and Mr. Simon-Peter Charamza, Head of Development and Digital Projects at ÖFB (Austrian Football Association), discussing SK Rapid Wien’s journey during the 1995/96 Cup Winners Cup.
All the facts about this memorable European campaign of Rapid Wien can be read here ➡️ Soccernostalgia (Blog).
This video about the European journey to the final in Brussels is worth watching and brings back many beautiful memories ➡️ YouTube.

For me it’s indubitable that this Rapid team was one of the best of the last 40 years. Or maybe the best of this period?
Well, in my opinion the team which reached the European Cup Winners’ Cup final in 1985 (with Hans Krankl and Antonin Panenka) or the team which won the latest Austrian championship in 2008 under manager Peter Pacult also stand out. Or should an other team be mentioned, too? Which one really was the best?
Food for thought and discussion…
