Dundee United Football Club is a Scottish association football club based in the city of Dundee. The club's first ever tie in European competition was in the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup where they knocked out holders Barcelona in the Second round winning both legs in the process before losing in the following round to Italian giants Juventus despite winning the home leg 1–0. They had their best spell in the 1980s, reaching the semi-final of the European Cup in 1984 and the final of the UEFA Cup in 1987 with famous victories over Barcelona, AS Roma, Rapid Vienna and Borussia Mönchengladbach along the way. They also reached the quarter-final stage of the latter in both 1982 and 1983. In total they have won 49 games in European competition, currently more than any Scottish club outside the Old Firm and Aberdeen.Club Statistics & Year-by-Year Results - Country: Scotland , bravepages.com.
