Derby In Europe

As the Champions League final approaches tonight where Manchester United will face of to Barcelona were going to look at Derby's memories of playing in Europe. Although our time in Europe may not be as lengthy as other clubs we've had memorable moments. An example of this is when the Rams beat Real Madrid 4-1 at the Baseball Ground and Charlie George got his name on the score sheet 3 times.
In 1972 the Rams also got to the semi-final of the cup after beating Benfica 3-0 at the Baseball Ground. Also at the Baseball ground Derby beat the Irish team Finn Harps 12-0 which proved to be the highest goal margin in a European game. 
It looks like an eternity until Derby will once again play in Europe but one day it will happen I've got no doubt in that (even if it is through the fair play system) and when it does hopefully we will be able to go one step forward and win the competition. We can all pray.
