Match

Summary

The final was a competitive match. Partizan took the lead through a goal by Velibor Vasović in the 55th minute, but Real Madrid equalised in the 70th minute through Spanish international Amancio Amaro. Fernando Serena scored the winner for Real six minutes later. With this goal, Real Madrid sealed their win and became European Champions once again.

This was Real Madrid's sixth European Cup triumph in the 11 years of the tournament's existence. However, Los Blancos would not win the competition again until 1998, when Predrag Mijatović–– who was, ironically, a former Partizan player–– scored the winning goal in the 66th minute of the final.
