Editing Zbigniew Boniek (section)

==Club career==
Boniek was born in [[Bydgoszcz]]. He first played for Polish clubs [[Zawisza Bydgoszcz]] and later at [[Widzew Łódź]].

Boniek transferred to Italian football giants [[Juventus FC|Juventus]] in 1982. With Juventus he won the [[Coppa Italia]] in his [[1982–83 Serie A|first season]], also managing a second-place finish in the league and reaching the [[1983 European Cup Final]] in the same season. The [[1983–84 Serie A|following season]], his performances proved decisive, as Juventus won both the [[Serie A]] title and the [[Cup Winners' Cup]] in 1984, with Boniek scoring the matching-winning goal in the 2–1 victory over [[FC Porto|Porto]] in the [[1984 European Cup Winners' Cup Final|final]] of the latter tournament in Basel; he followed up these victories by claiming the [[European Super Cup]] later that year, scoring twice in the 2–0 win against [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]. He also won the [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] in [[1985 European Cup Final|1985]], against Liverpool once again, winning the penalty that [[Michel Platini]] subsequently converted to win the title for Juventus, although the team's victory was overshadowed by the [[Heysel Disaster]].<ref name="tuttojuve"/><ref name="bello di notte"/><ref name="storiedicalcio">{{cite web|url=http://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/boniek-zbigniew.html|title=BONIEK Zbigniew: il bello di notte|date=23 November 2015 |publisher=Storie di Calcio|language=it|access-date=13 March 2017}}</ref><ref name="fifa">{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=160825/profile.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151106114220/http://www.fifa.com/fifa-tournaments/players-coaches/people=160825/profile.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 November 2015|title=Juve and Poland's Beauty of the Night|publisher=FIFA.com|access-date=13 March 2017}}</ref>
