Match

Summary

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. Fernando Serena scored the winner for Real six minutes later.

This was Real Madrid's sixth European Cup triumph in the 11 years of the tournament's existence. However, they 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.
