The 1959–60 European Cup was the fifth season of the European Cup, Europe's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by Real Madrid, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7–3 in the final at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on 18 May 1960. It remains the record score for the European Cup final. It was Real Madrid's fifth consecutive European Cup title, which is a feat that no other club has matched.
It was also the first time that a German team, Eintracht Frankfurt, reached the final. They were debutants in the competition and it wasn't until 1983–84 European Cup and AS Roma that another debutants ended up on the losing side in the final.
The tournament saw the first participation by a Greek club, Greek Champions Olympiacos, who had withdrawn from the previous season after being already placed in the bracket. It meant that no new country entered the competition for the first time since tournament inception.
Teams
[edit]A total of 27 teams were placed in the competition bracket, but finally only 26 participated since Kuopion Palloseura had withdrawn before playing first game.
Spain continued to be represented by two clubs, with Real Madrid qualifying as title holders and Barcelona as Spanish champions. CDNA Sofia appeared in the fourth edition of European Cup, with only Real Madrid having more appearances in the competition.
Červená Hviezda Bratislava, Boldklubben 1909, Kuopion Palloseura, Vorwärts Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt, Csepel, Sparta Rotterdam, Linfield, ŁKS Łódź, Porto, Barcelona and Fenerbahçe made debut in the competition.
All entrants were their respective associations champions, except for Real Madrid, which happened only for second time after the 1956–57 European Cup.
