30 years ago today:

An unforgettable night in the history of European football
On November 2, 1993, Karlsruher SC achieved a historic milestone that will remain forever anchored in the history of football. The team defeated FC Valencia in the UEFA Cup with a spectacular 7-0 victory (first leg 0-3).

Winfried Schäfer, the KSC coach at the time, still raves about this incredible evening: "It was one of the most beautiful football evenings of my life."

The entire KSC team played like they were in a frenzy, especially Edgar Schmitt, who heralded the birth of the "Euro-Eddy" with his four goals. Schmitt scored to make it 1-0, 2-0, 5-0 and 6-0.

These games were not only a miracle against Valencia and the birth of "Euro-Eddy", but also the start of Oliver Kahn's career as a goalkeeping star.

For all KSC fans, we offer the opportunity to keep this great memory of a piece of football history as a poster at home forever.
