I couldn't tell whether it was 1981 (Liverpool) or 1982 (Aston Villa) from the photo, mainly due to the lack of actual footballers in the photo!
I have a vague memory that it was actually Nottingham Forest and a quick Wikipedia check confirms that they won the European Cup in 1980.
Actually, that's the most likely, as that one was actually played the night before a Queen show in Japan (in Feb 81), whereas the 1981 one was the week after the Montreal show, and the 1982 one was a month after the end of the tour, which would be quite a while to wait around instead of going home.
The Feb date caught me out.
