1987–88 European Cup

The 1987–88 European Cup was the 33rd season of the European Cup club football tournament. The competition was won for the first time by PSV Eindhoven, who defeated two-time winners Benfica in the final at Neckarstadion in Stuttgart. PSV became the first Dutch team to win the title in 15 years. They also set a record by winning only three matches on their route to the Cup, including no wins from the quarter-final onwards.^[1][2]

Notes

1. The match was played behind closed doors due to a UEFA ban for Real Madrid resulting from the incidents during their previous season's semi-final match against Bayern Munich.
2. The match was played in Valencia instead of Real Madrid's home stadium due to a UEFA stadium ban resulting from the incidents in the previous season's European Cup semifinal between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
