The cup is one of the many inter-European club competitions that have been organised by\nUEFA\n. The first competition was held in the 1960–61 season—but not recognised by the governing body of European football until two years later. The final tournament was held in 1998–99, after which it was absorbed by the\nUEFA Cup\n.\nPrior to its abolition, the Cup Winners' Cup was regarded as the second most prestigious European club competition out of the three major tournaments, behind the European Cup\/\nUEFA Champions League\nand ahead of the UEFA Cup, although many commentators felt the Cup Winners' Cup was the easiest of the three competitions to win. However, no club successfully defended the Cup Winners' Cup throughout its history. In the 1985–86 season, English clubs were banned from Europe which prevented\nEverton\nfrom playing in the Champions Cup after winning a double of the English league title and the Cup Winners Cup in 1985.\nFrom 1972 onwards, the winner of the tournament would go on to play the winner of the\nEuropean Cup\n(later the\nUEFA Champions League\n) in the\nUEFA Super Cup\n. Since the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the\nUEFA Super Cup\nplace previously reserved for the CWC winner has been taken by the winner of the\nUEFA Cup\n, now\nUEFA Europa League\n. The competition's official name was originally the\nEuropean Cup Winners' Cup\n; it was renamed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup before the 1994–95 season.\nFormat\n[\n]\nThroughout its 39-year history, the Cup Winners' Cup was always a straight knock-out tournament with two-legged home and away ties until the single match final staged at a neutral venue, the only exception to this being the two-legged final in the competition's first year. In common with other UEFA club tournaments, the away goal applied when aggregate scores was parity. The format was identical to the original European Champions' Cup with 32 teams contesting four knock-out rounds prior to the showpiece final, with the tournament usually running from September to May each year. In later years, a regular August preliminary round was added to reduce the number of entrants to 32 following the influx of new UEFA member nations during the 1990s.\nEntry was restricted to one club from each UEFA member association, the only exception being to allow the current Cup Winners' Cup holders to enter alongside their nation's new domestic cup winners in order to allow them a chance to defend their CWC title (although no club ever managed to do this).  However, if this team also qualified for the European Champions' Cup then they would default on their place in the Cup Winners' Cup and no other team would replace them.\nOn occasions when a club completed a domestic league and cup 'double' that club would enter the European Cup\/UEFA Champions League and their place in the Cup Winners' Cup would be taken by the domestic cup runners-up.  In 1998\/99, the competition's final year,\nSC Heerenveen\nof the Netherlands entered the CWC despite only reaching the semi-final of the previous season's Dutch Cup. This was due to both Dutch Cup finalists\nAjax\nand\nPSV\nqualifying for the recently expanded Champions League.\nHistory\n[\n]\nInauguration and prestige\n[\n]\nMirroring the circumstances behind the creation of the European Cup five years earlier, the idea for a pan-European cup competition contested by all of Europe's domestic cup winners came from prominent European sports journalists. The European Cup had proven to be a great success and the\nFairs Cup\nhad also proven popular – as a result, other ideas for new European football tournaments were being aired. One proposal was for a tournament based upon the format of the European Cup, but with national cup winners rather than league champions taking part, which could run alongside that competition.\nThe inaugural Cup Winners' Cup was held in the\n1960–61\nseason and was basically a semi-official pilot tournament. However the initial reaction to the competition's creation was unenthusiastic on the part of many of Europe's top clubs – many European associations did not have domestic cup competitions at the time and in those countries that did, the cup competition was generally held in low esteem and often not taken seriously by the bigger clubs. It was essentially only in England, Scotland and to a lesser extent Germany and Spain that the domestic cup was considered especially prestigious. Many were sceptical about the viability of a European tournament for cup winners and many of the bigger clubs eligible to contest the first CWC turned down the chance to enter, such as\nAtlético de Madrid\nof\nSpain\nand\nAS Monaco\nof\nFrance\n.\nUltimately the inaugural CWC was contested by just 10 clubs (with\nFiorentina\nof\nItaly\nwinning the two-legged final against the\nScottish\nteam\nRangers F.C.\n) but the games were generally well attended and the response from the public and the media to the new tournament was positive and enthusiastic. For the tournament's second season in 1961–62, UEFA took over the running of all aspects of the competition and this time all the clubs eligible to enter accepted the opportunity.\nBy 1968, all UEFA member nations had set up domestic cup competitions due to the success of the Cup Winners' Cup which by then had firmly established itself as Europe's second most prestigious club competition.\nNotable finals\n[\n]\nSee also:\nList of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals\nNotable sides to have won the Cup Winners' Cup and some notable finals include:\n1963\n:\nTottenham Hotspur\n5–1\nAtlético Madrid\n- Tottenham became the first British side to win a European trophy, beating reigning champions Atlético Madrid by a scoreline which remains the joint largest margin of victory in a one-match European final.\n1965\n:\nWest Ham United\n2-0\n1860 Munich\n- Midpoint of the East End club's famous run of winning\nFA Cup\n, European Cup-Winners' Cup and\nWorld Cup\n(England's World Cup win being attributed to West Ham in popular mythology) in consecutive seasons.\n1966\n:\nBorussia Dortmund\n2–1\nLiverpool\n- Dortmund became the first German club to win a European title.\n1968\n:\nAC Milan\n2–0\nHamburg\n- Milan went on to follow up this success with victory in the\nEuropean Champions' Cup\nthe\nfollowing year\n, making them one of only two teams to win the trophies consecutively.\n1971\n:\nChelsea\n2–1\nReal Madrid\n- Chelsea won their first European trophy, defeating a Madrid team seeking their 7th in a replay (after a 1-1 [aet] draw in the initial match). They also knocked out the holders, Manchester City in the semi-final.\n1972\n:\nRangers\n3–2\nDynamo Moscow\n- Rangers' victory was marred by a pitch invasion by their fans, which led to a one-year ban for the team from European football, marking the first time the holders were unable to defend the title.\n1973\n:\nAC Milan\n1–0\nLeeds United\n- The crowd at the final reacted to perceived bias towards Milan by referee\nChristos Michas\nby throwing missiles during the victors' lap of honour, but despite protests the result was not overturned. Michas was later banned by UEFA from refereeing international club matches due to match fixing, although his role in this match was not investigated.\n1976\n:\nAnderlecht\n4–2\nWest Ham United\n- 1976 marked a run of three consecutive finals for Anderlecht, losing the\nfollowing year\n, before regaining the title in\n1978\n.\n1979\n:\nBarcelona\n4–3\nFortuna Düsseldorf\n- Barcelona, the tournaments most successful participants, won the their first of their four titles.\n1983\n:\nAberdeen\n2–1\nReal Madrid\n- On 11 May 1983, Aberdeen managed by Sir Alex Ferguson beat Real Madrid 2–1 (after extra time) to win the Cup and become only the third Scottish side to win a European trophy. Aberdeen reached the semi-finals of the following season's European Cup Winners' Cup, before losing to Porto 2–0 on aggregate.\n1984\n:\nJuventus\n2–1\nF.C. Porto\n- Juventus would go on to become the second team after AC Milan (1968, 1969) to follow victory in the Cup Winners' Cup with a successful\nEuropean Cup\ncampaign.\n1985\n:\nEverton\n3–1\nRapid Wien\n- Everton, who also won the\nEnglish league title\nthe same season, were barred from entering the Champions Cup the following season due to a five-year ban on English clubs entering UEFA competitions after the\nHeysel stadium disaster\n.\n1988\n:\nMechelen\n1–0\nAjax\n- Mechelen became one of a handful of clubs to win a European trophy in their debut European campaign.\n1989\n:\nBarcelona\n2–0\nSampdoria\n-\nJohan Cruyff\nbecame the first manager to win the CWC with two different teams, having managed Ajax in their\n1987\nfinal victory.\n1991\n:\nManchester United\n2–1\nBarcelona\n- United won the CWC in the first season English clubs were reinstated after the Heysel ban ended. It also marked\nAlex Ferguson\nmatching Cruyff's feat in 1989, having also led\nAberdeen\nto victory in the\n1983\ntournament.\n1993\n:\nParma\n3-1\nAntwerp\n- Minnows Parma would go on to play a further 2 consecutive finals, losing the following CWC final and then winning the 1995 UEFA Cup vs\nJuventus\n.\n1994\n:\nArsenal\n1–0\nParma\n- Alan Smith won the final, and Arsenal's second European trophy with a first half strike. This European campaign marked the introduction of the famous chant, \"1-0 to The Arsenal\".\n1999\n:\nLazio\n2–1\nReal Mallorca\n- Lazio won the final CWC final at Villa Park.\nNo club managed to retain the Cup Winners' Cup (the so-called \"CWC jinx\"), although a number of teams followed up their victories with a losing appearance in the following season's final. This \"curse\" happened on 8 occasions and showed its impact immediately since\nFiorentina\n, the first winners of this competition in 1961, lost the following years' final to\nAtlético Madrid\n, and they themselves lost the following final to\nTottenham Hotspur\nin 1963.\nAC Milan\nwere the third holders to share the same fate in 1974 vs\nFC Magdeburg\n.\nAnderlecht\nwon it in both 1976 an 1978, and finished runners up in between, and\nAjax\nfailed to defend their title in 1988, losing out to\nK.V. Mechelen\n. In addition, three finals over four years between 1993 and 1997 saw the holder reach the final only to lose (\nParma\n1993 and 1994,\nArsenal\n1994 and 1995, and\nParis Saint-Germain\n1996 and 1997). \nIn another instance the outcome was reversed after\nSampdoria\nlost the final to\nBarcelona\nin 1989, they themselves won the competition the following year, defeating\nAnderlecht\n.\nDecline\n[\n]\nAfter the establishment of the UEFA Champions League (formerly called the European Champion Clubs' Cup) in the early 1990s, the standing and prestige of the Cup Winners' Cup began to decline. With the expansion of the Champions League in 1997 to allow more than one team from the highest-ranked member associations to enter, the CWC began to look noticeably inferior. At the time of the Champions League expansion, UEFA also considered expanding the CWC from 32 teams to 64 by allowing a second team to enter from many countries, although by what qualification criteria the second entrants would be determined were never settled upon – ultimately UEFA did not make any of these changes to the CWC. Many of the bigger teams who would previously have entered the CWC were now gaining entry to the Champions League instead by finishing second in their domestic league – such as CWC holders\nFC Barcelona\nin 1997\/98 and\nBayern Munich\nand\nPSV\nin 1998\/99 – and this greatly weakened the CWC.\nBy the late 1990s, the CWC had come to be seen as a second-rate competition with only one or two big name teams available to enter each year and the interest in the tournament from both major clubs and the public dropped. Finally, with the further expansion of the UEFA Champions League to include as many as three or four teams from the top footballing nations, the decision was taken to abolish the competition after the end of the 1998\/99 tournament. Since then, domestic cup winners who do not otherwise qualify for the Champions League are given a place in the\nUEFA Europa League\n, formerly known as the\nUEFA Cup\nbefore 2009.\nThe European Cup Winners Cup trophy itself is now on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester, England.\nRecords and statistics\n[\n]\nBy club\n[\n]\nTeam\nWinners\nRunners-up\nYears won\nYears runner-up\nBarcelona\n4\n2\n1979\n,\n1982\n,\n1989\n,\n1997\n1969\n,\n1991\nAnderlecht\n2\n2\n1976\n,\n1978\n1977\n,\n1990\nMilan\n2\n1\n1968\n,\n1973\n1974\nChelsea\n2\n0\n1971\n,\n1998\n–\nDynamo Kyiv\n2\n0\n1975\n,\n1986\n–\nAtlético Madrid\n1\n2\n1962\n1963\n,\n1986\nRangers\n1\n2\n1972\n1961\n,\n1967\nArsenal\n1\n2\n1994\n1980\n,\n1995\nFiorentina\n1\n1\n1961\n1962\nWest Ham United\n1\n1\n1965\n1976\nHamburg\n1\n1\n1977\n1968\nAjax\n1\n1\n1987\n1988\nSampdoria\n1\n1\n1990\n1989\nParma\n1\n1\n1993\n1994\nParis Saint-Germain\n1\n1\n1996\n1997\nTottenham Hotspur\n1\n0\n1963\n–\nSporting CP\n1\n0\n1964\n–\nBorussia Dortmund\n1\n0\n1966\n–\nBayern Munich\n1\n0\n1967\n–\nSlovan Bratislava\n1\n0\n1969\n–\nManchester City\n1\n0\n1970\n–\n1.

The cup is one of the many inter-European club competitions that have been organised by [UEFA](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA \"UEFA\"). The first competition was held in the 1960–61 season—but not recognised by the governing body of European football until two years later. The final tournament was held in 1998–99, after which it was absorbed by the [UEFA Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Europa_League \"UEFA Europa League\").\n\nPrior to its abolition, the Cup Winners' Cup was regarded as the second most prestigious European club competition out of the three major tournaments, behind the European Cup\/[UEFA Champions League](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Champions_League \"UEFA Champions League\") and ahead of the UEFA Cup, although many commentators felt the Cup Winners' Cup was the easiest of the three competitions to win. However, no club successfully defended the Cup Winners' Cup throughout its history. In the 1985–86 season, English clubs were banned from Europe which prevented [Everton](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Everton_F.C. \"Everton F.C.\") from playing in the Champions Cup after winning a double of the English league title and the Cup Winners Cup in 1985.\n\nFrom 1972 onwards, the winner of the tournament would go on to play the winner of the [European Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/European_Cup \"European Cup\") (later the [UEFA Champions League](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Champions_League \"UEFA Champions League\")) in the [UEFA Super Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Super_Cup \"UEFA Super Cup\"). Since the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the [UEFA Super Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Super_Cup \"UEFA Super Cup\") place previously reserved for the CWC winner has been taken by the winner of the [UEFA Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup \"UEFA Cup\"), now [UEFA Europa League](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Europa_League \"UEFA Europa League\"). The competition's official name was originally the **European Cup Winners' Cup**; it was renamed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup before the 1994–95 season.\n\n## Contents\n- [1 Format](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Format)\n- [2 History](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#History)\n  - [2\\.1 Inauguration and prestige](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Inauguration_and_prestige)\n  - [2\\.2 Notable finals](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Notable_finals)\n  - [2\\.3 Decline](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Decline)\n- [3 Records and statistics](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Records_and_statistics)\n  - [3\\.1 By club](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#By_club)\n- [4 External links](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#External_links)\n## Format\\[ \\]\nThroughout its 39-year history, the Cup Winners' Cup was always a straight knock-out tournament with two-legged home and away ties until the single match final staged at a neutral venue, the only exception to this being the two-legged final in the competition's first year. In common with other UEFA club tournaments, the away goal applied when aggregate scores was parity. The format was identical to the original European Champions' Cup with 32 teams contesting four knock-out rounds prior to the showpiece final, with the tournament usually running from September to May each year. In later years, a regular August preliminary round was added to reduce the number of entrants to 32 following the influx of new UEFA member nations during the 1990s.\n\nEntry was restricted to one club from each UEFA member association, the only exception being to allow the current Cup Winners' Cup holders to enter alongside their nation's new domestic cup winners in order to allow them a chance to defend their CWC title (although no club ever managed to do this). However, if this team also qualified for the European Champions' Cup then they would default on their place in the Cup Winners' Cup and no other team would replace them.\n\nOn occasions when a club completed a domestic league and cup 'double' that club would enter the European Cup\/UEFA Champions League and their place in the Cup Winners' Cup would be taken by the domestic cup runners-up. In 1998\/99, the competition's final year, [SC Heerenveen](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/SC_Heerenveen \"SC Heerenveen\") of the Netherlands entered the CWC despite only reaching the semi-final of the previous season's Dutch Cup. This was due to both Dutch Cup finalists [Ajax](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/AFC_Ajax \"AFC Ajax\") and [PSV](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/PSV_Eindhoven \"PSV Eindhoven\") qualifying for the recently expanded Champions League.\n\n## History\\[ \\]\n### Inauguration and prestige\\[ \\]\nMirroring the circumstances behind the creation of the European Cup five years earlier, the idea for a pan-European cup competition contested by all of Europe's domestic cup winners came from prominent European sports journalists. The European Cup had proven to be a great success and the [Fairs Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Inter-Cities_Fairs_Cup \"Inter-Cities Fairs Cup\") had also proven popular – as a result, other ideas for new European football tournaments were being aired. One proposal was for a tournament based upon the format of the European Cup, but with national cup winners rather than league champions taking part, which could run alongside that competition.\n\nThe inaugural Cup Winners' Cup was held in the 1960–61 season and was basically a semi-official pilot tournament. However the initial reaction to the competition's creation was unenthusiastic on the part of many of Europe's top clubs – many European associations did not have domestic cup competitions at the time and in those countries that did, the cup competition was generally held in low esteem and often not taken seriously by the bigger clubs. It was essentially only in England, Scotland and to a lesser extent Germany and Spain that the domestic cup was considered especially prestigious. Many were sceptical about the viability of a European tournament for cup winners and many of the bigger clubs eligible to contest the first CWC turned down the chance to enter, such as [Atlético de Madrid](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Atl%C3%A9tico_de_Madrid \"Atlético de Madrid\") of [Spain](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Spain \"Spain\") and [AS Monaco](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/AS_Monaco_FC \"AS Monaco FC\") of [France](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/France \"France\").\n\nUltimately the inaugural CWC was contested by just 10 clubs (with [Fiorentina](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/ACF_Fiorentina \"ACF Fiorentina\") of [Italy](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Italy \"Italy\") winning the two-legged final against the [Scottish](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Scotland \"Scotland\") team [Rangers F.C.](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Rangers_F.C. \"Rangers F.C.\")) but the games were generally well attended and the response from the public and the media to the new tournament was positive and enthusiastic. For the tournament's second season in 1961–62, UEFA took over the running of all aspects of the competition and this time all the clubs eligible to enter accepted the opportunity.\n\nBy 1968, all UEFA member nations had set up domestic cup competitions due to the success of the Cup Winners' Cup which by then had firmly established itself as Europe's second most prestigious club competition.\n\n### Notable finals\\[ \\]\nSee also: List of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals\n\nNotable sides to have won the Cup Winners' Cup and some notable finals include:\n\n- **1963: [Tottenham Hotspur](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C. \"Tottenham Hotspur F.C.\") 5–1 [Atlético Madrid](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid \"Atlético Madrid\")** - Tottenham became the first British side to win a European trophy, beating reigning champions Atlético Madrid by a scoreline which remains the joint largest margin of victory in a one-match European final.\n\n- **1965: [West Ham United](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/West_Ham_United_F.C. \"West Ham United F.C.\") 2-0 [1860 Munich](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/TSV_1860_M%C3%BCnchen \"TSV 1860 München\")** - Midpoint of the East End club's famous run of winning FA Cup, European Cup-Winners' Cup and [World Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/1966_FIFA_World_Cup \"1966 FIFA World Cup\") (England's World Cup win being attributed to West Ham in popular mythology) in consecutive seasons.\n\n- **1966: [Borussia Dortmund](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Borussia_Dortmund \"Borussia Dortmund\") 2–1 [Liverpool](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Liverpool_F.C. \"Liverpool F.C.\")** - Dortmund became the first German club to win a European title.\n\n- **1968: [AC Milan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/AC_Milan \"AC Milan\") 2–0 Hamburg** - Milan went on to follow up this success with victory in the [European Champions' Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Champions_League \"UEFA Champions League\") the following year, making them one of only two teams to win the trophies consecutively.\n\n- **1971: [Chelsea](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Chelsea_F.C. \"Chelsea F.C.\") 2–1 [Real Madrid](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Real_Madrid_C.F. \"Real Madrid C.F.\")** - Chelsea won their first European trophy, defeating a Madrid team seeking their 7th in a replay (after a 1-1 \\[aet\\] draw in the initial match).

Michas was later banned by UEFA from refereeing international club matches due to match fixing, although his role in this match was not investigated.\n\n- **1976: [Anderlecht](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/R.S.C._Anderlecht \"R.S.C. Anderlecht\") 4–2 [West Ham United](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/West_Ham_United_F.C. \"West Ham United F.C.\")** - 1976 marked a run of three consecutive finals for Anderlecht, losing the following year, before regaining the title in 1978.\n\n- **1979: [Barcelona](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FC_Barcelona \"FC Barcelona\") 4–3 [Fortuna Düsseldorf](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Fortuna_D%C3%BCsseldorf \"Fortuna Düsseldorf\")** - Barcelona, the tournaments most successful participants, won the their first of their four titles.\n\n- **1983: [Aberdeen](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Aberdeen_F.C. \"Aberdeen F.C.\") 2–1 [Real Madrid](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Real_Madrid_C.F. \"Real Madrid C.F.\")** - On 11 May 1983, Aberdeen managed by Sir Alex Ferguson beat Real Madrid 2–1 (after extra time) to win the Cup and become only the third Scottish side to win a European trophy.

It also marked [Alex Ferguson](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Alex_Ferguson \"Alex Ferguson\") matching Cruyff's feat in 1989, having also led [Aberdeen](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Aberdeen_F.C. \"Aberdeen F.C.\") to victory in the 1983 tournament.\n\n- **1993: [Parma](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Parma \"Parma\") 3-1 Antwerp** - Minnows Parma would go on to play a further 2 consecutive finals, losing the following CWC final and then winning the 1995 UEFA Cup vs [Juventus](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Juventus \"Juventus\").\n\n- **[1994](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/1994_UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup_Final \"1994 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final\"): [Arsenal](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Arsenal_F.C. \"Arsenal F.C.\") 1–0 [Parma](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Parma_F.C. \"Parma F.C.\")** - Alan Smith won the final, and Arsenal's second European trophy with a first half strike.

This \"curse\" happened on 8 occasions and showed its impact immediately since [Fiorentina](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Fiorentina \"Fiorentina\"), the first winners of this competition in 1961, lost the following years' final to [Atlético Madrid](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid \"Atlético Madrid\"), and they themselves lost the following final to [Tottenham Hotspur](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Tottenham_Hotspur \"Tottenham Hotspur\") in 1963. [AC Milan](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/AC_Milan \"AC Milan\") were the third holders to share the same fate in 1974 vs FC Magdeburg. [Anderlecht](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/R.S.C._Anderlecht \"R.S.C. Anderlecht\") won it in both 1976 an 1978, and finished runners up in between, and [Ajax](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/AFC_Ajax \"AFC Ajax\") failed to defend their title in 1988, losing out to [K.V. Mechelen](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/K.V._Mechelen \"K.V. Mechelen\"). In addition, three finals over four years between 1993 and 1997 saw the holder reach the final only to lose ([Parma](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Parma_F.C. \"Parma F.C.\") 1993 and 1994, [Arsenal](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Arsenal_F.C. \"Arsenal F.C.\") 1994 and 1995, and [Paris Saint-Germain](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Paris_Saint-Germain_F.C. \"Paris Saint-Germain F.C.\") 1996 and 1997). In another instance the outcome was reversed after [Sampdoria](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Sampdoria \"Sampdoria\") lost the final to [Barcelona](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/Barcelona \"Barcelona\") in 1989, they themselves won the competition the following year, defeating [Anderlecht](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/R.S.C._Anderlecht \"R.S.C. Anderlecht\").\n\n### Decline\\[ \\]\nAfter the establishment of the UEFA Champions League (formerly called the European Champion Clubs' Cup) in the early 1990s, the standing and prestige of the Cup Winners' Cup began to decline. With the expansion of the Champions League in 1997 to allow more than one team from the highest-ranked member associations to enter, the CWC began to look noticeably inferior. At the time of the Champions League expansion, UEFA also considered expanding the CWC from 32 teams to 64 by allowing a second team to enter from many countries, although by what qualification criteria the second entrants would be determined were never settled upon – ultimately UEFA did not make any of these changes to the CWC. Many of the bigger teams who would previously have entered the CWC were now gaining entry to the Champions League instead by finishing second in their domestic league – such as CWC holders [FC Barcelona](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FC_Barcelona \"FC Barcelona\") in 1997\/98 and [Bayern Munich](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FC_Bayern_Munich \"FC Bayern Munich\") and [PSV](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/PSV_Eindhoven \"PSV Eindhoven\") in 1998\/99 – and this greatly weakened the CWC.\n\nBy the late 1990s, the CWC had come to be seen as a second-rate competition with only one or two big name teams available to enter each year and the interest in the tournament from both major clubs and the public dropped. Finally, with the further expansion of the UEFA Champions League to include as many as three or four teams from the top footballing nations, the decision was taken to abolish the competition after the end of the 1998\/99 tournament. Since then, domestic cup winners who do not otherwise qualify for the Champions League are given a place in the [UEFA Europa League](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Europa_League \"UEFA Europa League\"), formerly known as the [UEFA Cup](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/UEFA_Cup \"UEFA Cup\") before 2009.\n\nThe European Cup Winners Cup trophy itself is now on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester, England.\n\n## Records and statistics\\[ \\]\n### By club\\[ \\]\n| Team | Winners | Runners-up | Years won | Years runner-up |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| [![Flag of Spain](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D)](https:\/\/static.wikia.nocookie.net\/the-football-database\/images\/4\/41\/Flag_of_Spain.png\/revision\/latest?cb=20130621114431 \"Flag of Spain\") [Barcelona](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/FC_Barcelona \"FC Barcelona\") | 4 | 2 | 1979, 1982, 1989, 1997 | 1969, 1991 |\n| [![Flag of Belgium](data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D)](https:\/\/static.wikia.nocookie.net\/the-football-database\/images\/3\/32\/Belgium.png\/revision\/latest?cb=20150627164202 \"Flag of Belgium\") [Anderlecht](https:\/\/football.fandom.com\/wiki\/R.S.C._Anderlecht \"R.S.C.

The cup is one of the many inter-European club competitions that have been organised by UEFA . The first competition was held in the 1960–61 season—but not recognised by the governing body of European football until two years later. The final tournament was held in 1998–99, after which it was absorbed by the UEFA Cup . Prior to its abolition, the Cup Winners' Cup was regarded as the second most prestigious European club competition out of the three major tournaments, behind the European Cup/ UEFA Champions League and ahead of the UEFA Cup, although many commentators felt the Cup Winners' Cup was the easiest of the three competitions to win. However, no club successfully defended the Cup Winners' Cup throughout its history. In the 1985–86 season, English clubs were banned from Europe which prevented Everton from playing in the Champions Cup after winning a double of the English league title and the Cup Winners Cup in 1985. From 1972 onwards, the winner of the tournament would go on to play the winner of the European Cup (later the UEFA Champions League ) in the UEFA Super Cup . Since the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup place previously reserved for the CWC winner has been taken by the winner of the UEFA Cup , now UEFA Europa League . The competition's official name was originally the European Cup Winners' Cup ; it was renamed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup before the 1994–95 season. Format [ ] Throughout its 39-year history, the Cup Winners' Cup was always a straight knock-out tournament with two-legged home and away ties until the single match final staged at a neutral venue, the only exception to this being the two-legged final in the competition's first year. In common with other UEFA club tournaments, the away goal applied when aggregate scores was parity. The format was identical to the original European Champions' Cup with 32 teams contesting four knock-out rounds prior to the showpiece final, with the tournament usually running from September to May each year. In later years, a regular August preliminary round was added to reduce the number of entrants to 32 following the influx of new UEFA member nations during the 1990s. Entry was restricted to one club from each UEFA member association, the only exception being to allow the current Cup Winners' Cup holders to enter alongside their nation's new domestic cup winners in order to allow them a chance to defend their CWC title (although no club ever managed to do this). However, if this team also qualified for the European Champions' Cup then they would default on their place in the Cup Winners' Cup and no other team would replace them. On occasions when a club completed a domestic league and cup 'double' that club would enter the European Cup/UEFA Champions League and their place in the Cup Winners' Cup would be taken by the domestic cup runners-up. In 1998/99, the competition's final year, SC Heerenveen of the Netherlands entered the CWC despite only reaching the semi-final of the previous season's Dutch Cup. This was due to both Dutch Cup finalists Ajax and PSV qualifying for the recently expanded Champions League. History [ ] Inauguration and prestige [ ] Mirroring the circumstances behind the creation of the European Cup five years earlier, the idea for a pan-European cup competition contested by all of Europe's domestic cup winners came from prominent European sports journalists. The European Cup had proven to be a great success and the Fairs Cup had also proven popular – as a result, other ideas for new European football tournaments were being aired. One proposal was for a tournament based upon the format of the European Cup, but with national cup winners rather than league champions taking part, which could run alongside that competition. The inaugural Cup Winners' Cup was held in the 1960–61 season and was basically a semi-official pilot tournament. However the initial reaction to the competition's creation was unenthusiastic on the part of many of Europe's top clubs – many European associations did not have domestic cup competitions at the time and in those countries that did, the cup competition was generally held in low esteem and often not taken seriously by the bigger clubs. It was essentially only in England, Scotland and to a lesser extent Germany and Spain that the domestic cup was considered especially prestigious. Many were sceptical about the viability of a European tournament for cup winners and many of the bigger clubs eligible to contest the first CWC turned down the chance to enter, such as Atlético de Madrid of Spain and AS Monaco of France . Ultimately the inaugural CWC was contested by just 10 clubs (with Fiorentina of Italy winning the two-legged final against the Scottish team Rangers F.C. ) but the games were generally well attended and the response from the public and the media to the new tournament was positive and enthusiastic. For the tournament's second season in 1961–62, UEFA took over the running of all aspects of the competition and this time all the clubs eligible to enter accepted the opportunity. By 1968, all UEFA member nations had set up domestic cup competitions due to the success of the Cup Winners' Cup which by then had firmly established itself as Europe's second most prestigious club competition. Notable finals [ ] See also: List of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals Notable sides to have won the Cup Winners' Cup and some notable finals include: 1963 : Tottenham Hotspur 5–1 Atlético Madrid - Tottenham became the first British side to win a European trophy, beating reigning champions Atlético Madrid by a scoreline which remains the joint largest margin of victory in a one-match European final. 1965 : West Ham United 2-0 1860 Munich - Midpoint of the East End club's famous run of winning FA Cup , European Cup-Winners' Cup and World Cup (England's World Cup win being attributed to West Ham in popular mythology) in consecutive seasons. 1966 : Borussia Dortmund 2–1 Liverpool - Dortmund became the first German club to win a European title. 1968 : AC Milan 2–0 Hamburg - Milan went on to follow up this success with victory in the European Champions' Cup the following year , making them one of only two teams to win the trophies consecutively. 1971 : Chelsea 2–1 Real Madrid - Chelsea won their first European trophy, defeating a Madrid team seeking their 7th in a replay (after a 1-1 [aet] draw in the initial match). They also knocked out the holders, Manchester City in the semi-final. 1972 : Rangers 3–2 Dynamo Moscow - Rangers' victory was marred by a pitch invasion by their fans, which led to a one-year ban for the team from European football, marking the first time the holders were unable to defend the title. 1973 : AC Milan 1–0 Leeds United - The crowd at the final reacted to perceived bias towards Milan by referee Christos Michas by throwing missiles during the victors' lap of honour, but despite protests the result was not overturned. Michas was later banned by UEFA from refereeing international club matches due to match fixing, although his role in this match was not investigated. 1976 : Anderlecht 4–2 West Ham United - 1976 marked a run of three consecutive finals for Anderlecht, losing the following year , before regaining the title in 1978 . 1979 : Barcelona 4–3 Fortuna Düsseldorf - Barcelona, the tournaments most successful participants, won the their first of their four titles. 1983 : Aberdeen 2–1 Real Madrid - On 11 May 1983, Aberdeen managed by Sir Alex Ferguson beat Real Madrid 2–1 (after extra time) to win the Cup and become only the third Scottish side to win a European trophy. Aberdeen reached the semi-finals of the following season's European Cup Winners' Cup, before losing to Porto 2–0 on aggregate. 1984 : Juventus 2–1 F.C. Porto - Juventus would go on to become the second team after AC Milan (1968, 1969) to follow victory in the Cup Winners' Cup with a successful European Cup campaign. 1985 : Everton 3–1 Rapid Wien - Everton, who also won the English league title the same season, were barred from entering the Champions Cup the following season due to a five-year ban on English clubs entering UEFA competitions after the Heysel stadium disaster . 1988 : Mechelen 1–0 Ajax - Mechelen became one of a handful of clubs to win a European trophy in their debut European campaign. 1989 : Barcelona 2–0 Sampdoria - Johan Cruyff became the first manager to win the CWC with two different teams, having managed Ajax in their 1987 final victory. 1991 : Manchester United 2–1 Barcelona - United won the CWC in the first season English clubs were reinstated after the Heysel ban ended. It also marked Alex Ferguson matching Cruyff's feat in 1989, having also led Aberdeen to victory in the 1983 tournament. 1993 : Parma 3-1 Antwerp - Minnows Parma would go on to play a further 2 consecutive finals, losing the following CWC final and then winning the 1995 UEFA Cup vs Juventus . 1994 : Arsenal 1–0 Parma - Alan Smith won the final, and Arsenal's second European trophy with a first half strike. This European campaign marked the introduction of the famous chant, "1-0 to The Arsenal". 1999 : Lazio 2–1 Real Mallorca - Lazio won the final CWC final at Villa Park. No club managed to retain the Cup Winners' Cup (the so-called "CWC jinx"), although a number of teams followed up their victories with a losing appearance in the following season's final. This "curse" happened on 8 occasions and showed its impact immediately since Fiorentina , the first winners of this competition in 1961, lost the following years' final to Atlético Madrid , and they themselves lost the following final to Tottenham Hotspur in 1963. AC Milan were the third holders to share the same fate in 1974 vs FC Magdeburg . Anderlecht won it in both 1976 an 1978, and finished runners up in between, and Ajax failed to defend their title in 1988, losing out to K.V. Mechelen . In addition, three finals over four years between 1993 and 1997 saw the holder reach the final only to lose ( Parma 1993 and 1994, Arsenal 1994 and 1995, and Paris Saint-Germain 1996 and 1997). In another instance the outcome was reversed after Sampdoria lost the final to Barcelona in 1989, they themselves won the competition the following year, defeating Anderlecht . Decline [ ] After the establishment of the UEFA Champions League (formerly called the European Champion Clubs' Cup) in the early 1990s, the standing and prestige of the Cup Winners' Cup began to decline. With the expansion of the Champions League in 1997 to allow more than one team from the highest-ranked member associations to enter, the CWC began to look noticeably inferior. At the time of the Champions League expansion, UEFA also considered expanding the CWC from 32 teams to 64 by allowing a second team to enter from many countries, although by what qualification criteria the second entrants would be determined were never settled upon – ultimately UEFA did not make any of these changes to the CWC. Many of the bigger teams who would previously have entered the CWC were now gaining entry to the Champions League instead by finishing second in their domestic league – such as CWC holders FC Barcelona in 1997/98 and Bayern Munich and PSV in 1998/99 – and this greatly weakened the CWC. By the late 1990s, the CWC had come to be seen as a second-rate competition with only one or two big name teams available to enter each year and the interest in the tournament from both major clubs and the public dropped. Finally, with the further expansion of the UEFA Champions League to include as many as three or four teams from the top footballing nations, the decision was taken to abolish the competition after the end of the 1998/99 tournament. Since then, domestic cup winners who do not otherwise qualify for the Champions League are given a place in the UEFA Europa League , formerly known as the UEFA Cup before 2009. The European Cup Winners Cup trophy itself is now on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester, England.

The cup is one of the many inter-European club competitions that have been organised by [UEFA](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA "UEFA"). The first competition was held in the 1960–61 season—but not recognised by the governing body of European football until two years later. The final tournament was held in 1998–99, after which it was absorbed by the [UEFA Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League "UEFA Europa League"). Prior to its abolition, the Cup Winners' Cup was regarded as the second most prestigious European club competition out of the three major tournaments, behind the European Cup/[UEFA Champions League](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League "UEFA Champions League") and ahead of the UEFA Cup, although many commentators felt the Cup Winners' Cup was the easiest of the three competitions to win. However, no club successfully defended the Cup Winners' Cup throughout its history. In the 1985–86 season, English clubs were banned from Europe which prevented [Everton](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Everton_F.C. "Everton F.C.") from playing in the Champions Cup after winning a double of the English league title and the Cup Winners Cup in 1985. From 1972 onwards, the winner of the tournament would go on to play the winner of the [European Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/European_Cup "European Cup") (later the [UEFA Champions League](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League "UEFA Champions League")) in the [UEFA Super Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Super_Cup "UEFA Super Cup"). Since the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the [UEFA Super Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Super_Cup "UEFA Super Cup") place previously reserved for the CWC winner has been taken by the winner of the [UEFA Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup "UEFA Cup"), now [UEFA Europa League](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League "UEFA Europa League"). The competition's official name was originally the European Cup Winners' Cup; it was renamed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup before the 1994–95 season. ## Contents - [1 Format](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Format) - [2 History](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#History) - [2\.1 Inauguration and prestige](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Inauguration_and_prestige) - [2\.2 Notable finals](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Notable_finals) - [2\.3 Decline](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Decline) - [3 Records and statistics](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#Records_and_statistics) - [3\.1 By club](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#By_club) - [4 External links](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup#External_links) ## Format\[ \] Throughout its 39-year history, the Cup Winners' Cup was always a straight knock-out tournament with two-legged home and away ties until the single match final staged at a neutral venue, the only exception to this being the two-legged final in the competition's first year. In common with other UEFA club tournaments, the away goal applied when aggregate scores was parity. The format was identical to the original European Champions' Cup with 32 teams contesting four knock-out rounds prior to the showpiece final, with the tournament usually running from September to May each year. In later years, a regular August preliminary round was added to reduce the number of entrants to 32 following the influx of new UEFA member nations during the 1990s. Entry was restricted to one club from each UEFA member association, the only exception being to allow the current Cup Winners' Cup holders to enter alongside their nation's new domestic cup winners in order to allow them a chance to defend their CWC title (although no club ever managed to do this). However, if this team also qualified for the European Champions' Cup then they would default on their place in the Cup Winners' Cup and no other team would replace them. On occasions when a club completed a domestic league and cup 'double' that club would enter the European Cup/UEFA Champions League and their place in the Cup Winners' Cup would be taken by the domestic cup runners-up. In 1998/99, the competition's final year, [SC Heerenveen](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/SC_Heerenveen "SC Heerenveen") of the Netherlands entered the CWC despite only reaching the semi-final of the previous season's Dutch Cup. This was due to both Dutch Cup finalists [Ajax](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AFC_Ajax "AFC Ajax") and [PSV](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/PSV_Eindhoven "PSV Eindhoven") qualifying for the recently expanded Champions League. ## History\[ \] ### Inauguration and prestige\[ \] Mirroring the circumstances behind the creation of the European Cup five years earlier, the idea for a pan-European cup competition contested by all of Europe's domestic cup winners came from prominent European sports journalists. The European Cup had proven to be a great success and the [Fairs Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Inter-Cities_Fairs_Cup "Inter-Cities Fairs Cup") had also proven popular – as a result, other ideas for new European football tournaments were being aired. One proposal was for a tournament based upon the format of the European Cup, but with national cup winners rather than league champions taking part, which could run alongside that competition. The inaugural Cup Winners' Cup was held in the 1960–61 season and was basically a semi-official pilot tournament. However the initial reaction to the competition's creation was unenthusiastic on the part of many of Europe's top clubs – many European associations did not have domestic cup competitions at the time and in those countries that did, the cup competition was generally held in low esteem and often not taken seriously by the bigger clubs. It was essentially only in England, Scotland and to a lesser extent Germany and Spain that the domestic cup was considered especially prestigious. Many were sceptical about the viability of a European tournament for cup winners and many of the bigger clubs eligible to contest the first CWC turned down the chance to enter, such as [Atlético de Madrid](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Atl%C3%A9tico_de_Madrid "Atlético de Madrid") of [Spain](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Spain "Spain") and [AS Monaco](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AS_Monaco_FC "AS Monaco FC") of [France](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/France "France"). Ultimately the inaugural CWC was contested by just 10 clubs (with [Fiorentina](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/ACF_Fiorentina "ACF Fiorentina") of [Italy](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Italy "Italy") winning the two-legged final against the [Scottish](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Scotland "Scotland") team [Rangers F.C.](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Rangers_F.C. "Rangers F.C.")) but the games were generally well attended and the response from the public and the media to the new tournament was positive and enthusiastic. For the tournament's second season in 1961–62, UEFA took over the running of all aspects of the competition and this time all the clubs eligible to enter accepted the opportunity. By 1968, all UEFA member nations had set up domestic cup competitions due to the success of the Cup Winners' Cup which by then had firmly established itself as Europe's second most prestigious club competition. ### Notable finals\[ \] See also: List of UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals Notable sides to have won the Cup Winners' Cup and some notable finals include: - 1963: [Tottenham Hotspur](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C. "Tottenham Hotspur F.C.") 5–1 [Atlético Madrid](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid "Atlético Madrid") - Tottenham became the first British side to win a European trophy, beating reigning champions Atlético Madrid by a scoreline which remains the joint largest margin of victory in a one-match European final. - 1965: [West Ham United](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/West_Ham_United_F.C. "West Ham United F.C.") 2-0 [1860 Munich](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/TSV_1860_M%C3%BCnchen "TSV 1860 München") - Midpoint of the East End club's famous run of winning FA Cup, European Cup-Winners' Cup and [World Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/1966_FIFA_World_Cup "1966 FIFA World Cup") (England's World Cup win being attributed to West Ham in popular mythology) in consecutive seasons. - 1966: [Borussia Dortmund](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Borussia_Dortmund "Borussia Dortmund") 2–1 [Liverpool](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Liverpool_F.C. "Liverpool F.C.") - Dortmund became the first German club to win a European title. - 1968: [AC Milan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AC_Milan "AC Milan") 2–0 Hamburg - Milan went on to follow up this success with victory in the [European Champions' Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League "UEFA Champions League") the following year, making them one of only two teams to win the trophies consecutively. - 1971: [Chelsea](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Chelsea_F.C.

They also knocked out the holders, Manchester City in the semi-final. - 1972: [Rangers](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Rangers_F.C. "Rangers F.C.") 3–2 [Dynamo Moscow](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Dynamo_Moscow "FC Dynamo Moscow") - Rangers' victory was marred by a pitch invasion by their fans, which led to a one-year ban for the team from European football, marking the first time the holders were unable to defend the title. - 1973: [AC Milan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AC_Milan "AC Milan") 1–0 [Leeds United](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Leeds_United_F.C. "Leeds United F.C.") - The crowd at the final reacted to perceived bias towards Milan by referee Christos Michas by throwing missiles during the victors' lap of honour, but despite protests the result was not overturned. Michas was later banned by UEFA from refereeing international club matches due to match fixing, although his role in this match was not investigated. - 1976: [Anderlecht](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/R.S.C._Anderlecht "R.S.C. Anderlecht") 4–2 [West Ham United](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/West_Ham_United_F.C. "West Ham United F.C.") - 1976 marked a run of three consecutive finals for Anderlecht, losing the following year, before regaining the title in 1978. - 1979: [Barcelona](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Barcelona "FC Barcelona") 4–3 [Fortuna Düsseldorf](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Fortuna_D%C3%BCsseldorf "Fortuna Düsseldorf") - Barcelona, the tournaments most successful participants, won the their first of their four titles. - 1983: [Aberdeen](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Aberdeen_F.C. "Aberdeen F.C.") 2–1 [Real Madrid](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Real_Madrid_C.F. "Real Madrid C.F.") - On 11 May 1983, Aberdeen managed by Sir Alex Ferguson beat Real Madrid 2–1 (after extra time) to win the Cup and become only the third Scottish side to win a European trophy. Aberdeen reached the semi-finals of the following season's European Cup Winners' Cup, before losing to Porto 2–0 on aggregate. - 1984: [Juventus](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Juventus_FC "Juventus FC") 2–1 [F.C. Porto](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/F.C._Porto "F.C. Porto") - Juventus would go on to become the second team after AC Milan (1968, 1969) to follow victory in the Cup Winners' Cup with a successful European Cup campaign. - 1985: [Everton](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Everton_F.C. "Everton F.C.") 3–1 [Rapid Wien](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/SK_Rapid_Wien "SK Rapid Wien") - Everton, who also won the [English league title](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Football_League_First_Division "Football League First Division") the same season, were barred from entering the Champions Cup the following season due to a five-year ban on English clubs entering UEFA competitions after the Heysel stadium disaster. - 1988: [Mechelen](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/KV_Mechelen "KV Mechelen") 1–0 [Ajax](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AFC_Ajax "AFC Ajax") - Mechelen became one of a handful of clubs to win a European trophy in their debut European campaign. - 1989: [Barcelona](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Barcelona "FC Barcelona") 2–0 [Sampdoria](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/U.C._Sampdoria "U.C. Sampdoria") - [Johan Cruyff](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Johan_Cruyff "Johan Cruyff") became the first manager to win the CWC with two different teams, having managed Ajax in their 1987 final victory. - 1991: [Manchester United](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C. "Manchester United F.C.") 2–1 [Barcelona](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Barcelona "FC Barcelona") - United won the CWC in the first season English clubs were reinstated after the Heysel ban ended. It also marked [Alex Ferguson](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Alex_Ferguson "Alex Ferguson") matching Cruyff's feat in 1989, having also led [Aberdeen](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Aberdeen_F.C. "Aberdeen F.C.") to victory in the 1983 tournament. - 1993: [Parma](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Parma "Parma") 3-1 Antwerp - Minnows Parma would go on to play a further 2 consecutive finals, losing the following CWC final and then winning the 1995 UEFA Cup vs [Juventus](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Juventus "Juventus"). - [1994](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/1994_UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup_Final "1994 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final"): [Arsenal](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Arsenal_F.C. "Arsenal F.C.") 1–0 [Parma](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Parma_F.C. "Parma F.C.") - Alan Smith won the final, and Arsenal's second European trophy with a first half strike. This European campaign marked the introduction of the famous chant, "1-0 to The Arsenal". - [1999](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/1999_UEFA_Cup_Winners%27_Cup_Final "1999 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final"): [Lazio](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/SS_Lazio "SS Lazio") 2–1 [Real Mallorca](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/RCD_Mallorca "RCD Mallorca") - Lazio won the final CWC final at Villa Park. No club managed to retain the Cup Winners' Cup (the so-called "CWC jinx"), although a number of teams followed up their victories with a losing appearance in the following season's final. This "curse" happened on 8 occasions and showed its impact immediately since [Fiorentina](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Fiorentina "Fiorentina"), the first winners of this competition in 1961, lost the following years' final to [Atlético Madrid](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Atl%C3%A9tico_Madrid "Atlético Madrid"), and they themselves lost the following final to [Tottenham Hotspur](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur "Tottenham Hotspur") in 1963. [AC Milan](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AC_Milan "AC Milan") were the third holders to share the same fate in 1974 vs FC Magdeburg. [Anderlecht](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/R.S.C._Anderlecht "R.S.C. Anderlecht") won it in both 1976 an 1978, and finished runners up in between, and [Ajax](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/AFC_Ajax "AFC Ajax") failed to defend their title in 1988, losing out to [K.V. Mechelen](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/K.V._Mechelen "K.V. Mechelen"). In addition, three finals over four years between 1993 and 1997 saw the holder reach the final only to lose ([Parma](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Parma_F.C. "Parma F.C.") 1993 and 1994, [Arsenal](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Arsenal_F.C. "Arsenal F.C.") 1994 and 1995, and [Paris Saint-Germain](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Paris_Saint-Germain_F.C. "Paris Saint-Germain F.C.") 1996 and 1997). In another instance the outcome was reversed after [Sampdoria](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Sampdoria "Sampdoria") lost the final to [Barcelona](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/Barcelona "Barcelona") in 1989, they themselves won the competition the following year, defeating [Anderlecht](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/R.S.C._Anderlecht "R.S.C. Anderlecht"). ### Decline\[ \] After the establishment of the UEFA Champions League (formerly called the European Champion Clubs' Cup) in the early 1990s, the standing and prestige of the Cup Winners' Cup began to decline. With the expansion of the Champions League in 1997 to allow more than one team from the highest-ranked member associations to enter, the CWC began to look noticeably inferior. At the time of the Champions League expansion, UEFA also considered expanding the CWC from 32 teams to 64 by allowing a second team to enter from many countries, although by what qualification criteria the second entrants would be determined were never settled upon – ultimately UEFA did not make any of these changes to the CWC. Many of the bigger teams who would previously have entered the CWC were now gaining entry to the Champions League instead by finishing second in their domestic league – such as CWC holders [FC Barcelona](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Barcelona "FC Barcelona") in 1997/98 and [Bayern Munich](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/FC_Bayern_Munich "FC Bayern Munich") and [PSV](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/PSV_Eindhoven "PSV Eindhoven") in 1998/99 – and this greatly weakened the CWC. By the late 1990s, the CWC had come to be seen as a second-rate competition with only one or two big name teams available to enter each year and the interest in the tournament from both major clubs and the public dropped. Finally, with the further expansion of the UEFA Champions League to include as many as three or four teams from the top footballing nations, the decision was taken to abolish the competition after the end of the 1998/99 tournament. Since then, domestic cup winners who do not otherwise qualify for the Champions League are given a place in the [UEFA Europa League](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Europa_League "UEFA Europa League"), formerly known as the [UEFA Cup](https://football.fandom.com/wiki/UEFA_Cup "UEFA Cup") before 2009.
