Norwich became the first English club to beat Bayern Munich in Germany when they won 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium on 19th October 1993. Bayern's side was full of internationals and captained by Lothar matthaus yet the Norfolk club produced the shock victory. Jeremy Goss scored the opener after 12 minutes with a brillian 20 yeard volley set up by a poor clearance by Matthaus. After 31 minutes, they went 2-0 up through Mark Bowen. A Bayern goal on 40 minutes suggested a reversal of fortune but Norwich held out especially with Bryan Gunn denying Valencia on 75minutes.
The second leg saw Bayern draw level after just 5 minutes putting the tie in the balance. However Norwich still had the away goals advantage requiring the Germans to push forward for the additional goal they needed. Gunn again produced stunning saves and then on 50minutes Jeremy Goss got his third European goal. Norwich withstood a Bayern onslaught and were through to the Third Round.

Faced with Italian giants Inter Milan and their strikeforce of Dennis Bergkamp and Ruben Sosa, Norwich's luck deserted them. A valian display saw Norwich only concede a goal after Rob Newman conceded a penalty on 80 minutes just after Goss was denied by the woodwork. Bookings for Butterworth, Crook and Culverhouse saw them suspended for the second lef in Milan.
With Norwich fielding a side of second stringers due to injury (Polston, Robins) and the aforementioned suspensions, Norwich were unlikely to get the two goals needed for victory. Despite dominating the first half, they had nothing to show for their efforts and eventually conceded another late goal to Bergkamp. It was described as a cruel result for a noble display but the Canaries could be proud of their first season in Europe.
