1969–70 European Cup


The 1969–70 European Cup football club tournament was won by Feyenoord in an extra time final victory against Celtic. It was the first time the cup was won by a Dutch club, as well as the first of four-straight years the tournament would be won by Dutch clubs. During this tournament, tiebreaker playoffs were abandoned in favour of away goals; if both teams had scored the same number of away goals, one side was eliminated by the toss of a coin, something that was required in two of the matches.
Milan, the defending champions, were eliminated by Feyenoord in the second round.
