They are the most successful Romanian side, both domestically and in European competition. They were the first East European team to win the European Cup, beating Barcelona on penalties in 1986 in a remarkable shoot-out in which Steaua goalkeeper Helmuth Duckadam saved all four of Barcelona's penalties.

Steaua youth product and future Chelsea right back Dan Petrescu was on the losing side.
