Look back at five great European cup finals

They will be hoping to add Europe's premier competition to their already impressive seasons in Spain and Italy respectively.

Over the years, the European Cup has produced some fantastic finals and viewers will hope Saturday's showpiece will be worthy of the glamour surrounding the trophy.

Here, Jon Radcliffe looks at five of the best finals from down the years.

1 Real Madrid 7-3 Eintracht Frankfurt, 1960

A total of 127,621 people crammed into Hampden Park to catch a glimpse of Madrid's greats, who included world superstars such as Ferenc Puskas, Alfredo di Stefano and Francisco Gento in their ranks.

The crowds were not disappointed as the Spanish giants dazzled their way to a 7-3 win. Di Stefano and Puskas both scored hat-tricks, two of only three players to do so in a European Cup final.

2 Celtic 2-1 Internazionale, 1967

If you thought the 'park cio in the 1960s, having won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965 before facing Celtic at the Estadio Nacional in Lisbon.

When they took the lead after just seven minutes, few would have bet against them making it three European Cup victories.

But Jock Stein's side, who were famously all born within 20 miles of Celtic Park, laid siege upon the Inter goal.

Tommy Gemmell levelled the scores before Stevie Chalmers scored the winner and Billy McNeill lifted the cup.

The Lisbon Lions, as they became known, are still the only Scottish side to win the trophy.

3 Manchester United 4-1 Benfica, 1968

Ten years had passed since the Munich air disaster – which saw 23 people perish, including eight first-team players – when Manchester United made it to the 1968 European Cup final against Portuguese side Benfica.

Survivor Bobby Charlton scored the opener before Graca equalised late on in what was an uneventful 90 minutes.

All the action came in extra-time when United scored three goals, including a wonderful solo effort from George Best, to become the first English side to win the trophy.

4 AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona, 1994

Going into the match, Johan Cruyff's Dream Team were overwhelming favourites to win their second European trophy against a depleted AC Milan side.

Milan were missing Marco van Basten, world record signing Gianluigi Lentini, Alessandro Costacurta and Franco Baresi among others.

The Rossoneri were given next to no hope as they turned up at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, but what ensued was truly astonishing.

Milan battered Barcelona 4-0, dominating from start to finish, which is even more shocking, bearing in mind the Italian side had scored just 36 goals in 34 games on their way to the Serie A title that year.

5 Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan, 2005

In 2005, AC Milan were arguably the best side in world football, fielding such talents as Kaka, Hernan Crespo and Andriy Shevchenko.

Liverpool had failed to qualify for the following season's Champions League, after only finishing fifth in the English top flight. Milan were clear favourites and when they went in 3-0 up at the break.

Then, in one of the greatest comebacks of all time, a Steven Gerrard-inspired Liverpool rose from the dead to make it 3-3 before eventually winning on penalties.
