For a club the size of Arsenal, it is remarkable they have not enjoyed more European success.Incredibly, Arsenal have lifted just two European trophies with the Fairs Cup in 1970 and the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1994. It was so long ago that neither exist anymore. And maybe that explains why, 32 years on, the miracle of Copenhagen does not get nearly as much credit as it deserves.It remains an astonishing, against-the-odds European victory carved out by a performance full of defiance, determination and glory.Arsenal were big underdogs against the might of Parma who possessed one of the best strike forces in Europe - Tomas Brolin, Faustino Asprilla and Gianfranco Zola - while George Graham’s heroes were missing their big guns.‌Ian Wright was suspended. John Jensen was injured. Martin Keown missed out after failing a late fitness test. David Seaman needed an injection because he had broken two ribs in the build-up to the final. David Hillier, arguably the best man-marker at the club, tried and failed to prove his fitness in a reserve game two days before.FOLLOW OUR ARSENAL FB PAGE! Latest Gunners news and more on our dedicated Facebook pageInstead, Alan Smith, one of the club’s all-time greats and top scorer in both title-winning seasons of 1989 and 1991, and Steve Morrow were two of the stars of Arsenal’s last European trophy.They may even provide some inspiration and fairytale to set up Arsenal to face Paris Saint Germain in Budapest on Saturday because Luis Enrique’s men will start as favourites and boast a formidable attack led by Ousmane Demebele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.‌But anyone at the Parken Stadium will truly believe this Arsenal generation has a chance.“Parma were favourites for sure,” said Morrow. “We were certainly underdogs but the team performance that night was incredible.”Smith said: “I see a lot of similarities. Yeah, you'd have expected Arsenal to win more European trophies and they’ve come close. But it just hasn't happened. But now Arsenal have won the league, you go into it freed up a little bit and maybe that will help.‌“I don’t see why not. I do fancy Arsenal. The hard bit has been done now with the Premier League title - but it would be brilliant to get a Champions League.”Former Arsenal boss Graham built his own dynasty of success after taking charge in 1986. The Littlewoods Cup followed a year later. Then the greatest single night in the club’s history: the title success of Anfield in 1989. Morrow was in the travelling squad that night while Smith scored.Morrow of course scored in the 1993 League Cup final and then Tony Adams dropped him in the post-match celebrations. They also won the FA Cup to complete a domestic cup double and qualified for the Cup Winners’ Cup. By then, Graham had bought Wright, Arsenal had become more of a cup team.They beat Torino and Paris Saint Germain in the semi final when the song “1-0 to the Arsenal” came about as the fans sang it to the tune of Pet Shop Boys’ Go West.‌Smith recalled: “For the European games, we always used to come in on a Monday ahead of the Wednesday and and work on it. It would be 4-4-2 on the Saturday, then getting in our minds what everyone had to do. George was so strong at tactics.“I remember the night before when you would train on the pitch in European stadiums and Parma were looking a million dollars. They went out first, like Italians always do, and we were a little bit like vagabonds with our training kit.“And I think they looked at us and thought: ‘Who’s this mob?’ And, then there was the podium as well. That was just sat in the corner, and it had ‘Parma winners’ on it. And we thought: ‘Bloody hell, that's a bit previous.’“But we only just realised afterwards that on the other side, he had Arsenal winners. So you know they just turn it around accordingly.”‌Morrow said: “George was so thorough, going through everything again and really talking about these threats that they could pose for us.“And I kind of realised after a while, a lot of it was focused on me. So you know, he would say: ‘Now, Steve, Thomas Brolin; he likes to make runs from deep midfield.’ So please, you know, watch out for his runs; you'll need to pick him up’“And then it would be Zola starts high but he drops deep. He plays in that hole just where I want you to be, so you are going to have to mark him tightly.‌“‘Oh, and Faustino Asprilla. His strength is he drops deep and he loves to run at our defence. So, make sure you block him as well.’“And I think it was Merse (Paul Merson) beside me and he said: ‘Good luck, Steve.’ And, it brought a bit of entertainment because everyone just kind of burst out laughing, and it kind of relaxed the atmosphere a little bit.”Arsenal were up against it. But with 19 minutes on the clock. The ball fell to Smith. “Their defender Luigi Apolloni made a right mess of the clearance with his overhead kick, and it's come straight to me onto my chest.“I hit it nicely and it flew. Was it my best? I’d probably have to say 89. But it’s right up there.”‌Morrow said: “Obviously, everyone asks me personally about 93. Obviously because of everything that happened there. But I enjoy talking about 94 more, and when people ask me your most memorable game, I'd like to talk about that one the most.“And, it gave me the most satisfaction for all the reasons that you just talked about. There was such a big occasion for us. The quality of the opposition was was top class.”Morrow now works for FIFA as a Talent ID coach. His brief takes in Georgia and he describes Kvaratskhelia as a “national hero.”‌Smith works in the media as a highly-respected Sky pundit. Bearing in mind Smith scored the winner in Arsenal’s last European success it is incredible to think he will not be there on Saturday.Smith did go back to the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen to see Arsenal lose the 2000 UEFA Cup final on penalties to Galatasaray. They also lost the 2006 Champions League final and 1980 Cup Winners’ Cup final.“I went to the Parken Stadium for the final against Galatasaray, what six years later, and it was a s**** game. I was working and writing for the Telegraph,” he recalls.“I couldn't get a line out to file at the final whistle, and I am down on my hands and knees, and gets all dusty. And there I am sat next to another journalist, Martin Samuel, and I’m asking: ‘Can I use your connection point?’‌“He went, "Yeah, yeah." He says, “F**king hell. Five years ago you were scoring the winning goal and now you’re on your knees trying to get a connection. Oh, god, where did it all go wrong?’”Morrow recognises much of Graham in Mikel Arteta.‌“Yeah, for sure. I worked at the academy back when Mikel was a player and he would always take an interest in the young players. I knew he would be a good coach but I didn’t realise just good a manager he would be.”Smith believes if Arsenal complete the Double, it would be the greatest achievement in the club’s history: “Best ever. You can't deny that. And you know, the players I think will be aware of that, and to go down in folklore as the team that's had the best ever season.”Morrow believes the 94 success is not appreciated enough. And he would dearly love to see them win this weekend.“It was a magnificent achievement back then,” said Morrow. “I do find it really strange the club has not won more in Europe.‌“But if they do it, it would certainly be up there with the Invincibles. It would be an incredible achievement.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
