Priced pangs
- The Guttmann Curse · 1990 · 1.00 pangsBéla Guttmann, sacked in 1962: 'not in a hundred years will Benfica win a European Cup.' Eusébio prayed at his grave in Vienna before the 1990 final, held in Vienna. Benfica lost 1-0. Eight European finals lost since the curse. Prices the folklore of the standing curse at its most vivid moment, not any individual's death.
