Lore & Background
The score and the crowd are still records for the final, and five titles in a row is a run no other club has matched. Frankfurt, in the competition for the first time, were the first German finalists. The season also brought the first Greek entrant, Olympiacos, who had pulled out the year before after being drawn.
