It looked very bright for a long time.
Because in the autumn of 1986, IFK Gothenburg won the first European Cup semi-final against Barcelona 3-0 at home in Gothenburg.
On the return leg in Barcelona two weeks later, however, there would be a 3-0 defeat and then the Spanish team would win on penalties in front of 98,000 spectators.
However, one who missed that match was Glenn Hysén.
This is due to Tommy Holmgren’s son Daniel.
– He had gone up to Kamratgården and had chickenpox and I hadn’t had it, says Glenn Hysén on GP-sport’s 031 Football podcast.
So you missed the chicken pox game?
– Yes …

Did you know you didn’t have it?
– Yes, but it was not something he was and thought about. It started with three or four days left until we went down. Then it started to itch like hell and the day before we left I had a 40 degree fever. I was left shaking on a fucking bed as it itched like never before. I was like a corpse for four days and I saw on television how we lost. It was tough, really tough. We had a goal that was inside but that the referee blew for some damn reason …
Are there many Blue and Whites who over the years have affirmed that this match was resolved?
– Yes, there are many who say that but I can’t say bu or bä. But when I meet Daniel even today, I ask him to go to hell, says Hysén jokingly.

“The whole game is a disappointment”
One of the explanations for the loss to IFK Gothenburg may be the absence of Glenn Hysén. Because when the midfielder was missing, the team was forced to make several different changes.
– With the team we had, we had never coded 3-0. I left, among other things, and then Ruben Svensson had to step in and play in the center and he had blinks in front of his eyes. He saw nothing and had to be replaced at half time. So Stig Fredriksson had to come in and play center back and Stig was cruel but not very tall. And Barcelona scored two goals in the head. There are so many things that come into play there and we had many illnesses. That whole game is a bloody disappointment, says Hysén.
