International football competition
The
1970?71 European Cup
was the 16th season of the
European Cup
,
UEFA
's premier club
football
tournament. The competition was won by
Ajax
, who beat
Panathinaikos
in the
final
at
Wembley Stadium
in
London
, on 2 June 1971. It was the first time the trophy went to Ajax, beginning a three-year period of domination, and the second consecutive championship for the Netherlands. It was also the first time that a Greek team reached the final.
UEFA
had introduced for the first time
penalty shoot-out
as a way of deciding drawn ties ? doing away with the unsatisfactory
tossing of a coin
. They had also decided that the away goals rule should apply to all rounds, and not just the first two, as had been the case.
This season marked the first time in European Cup history that
Real Madrid
failed to qualify for the tournament, having appeared in all 15 previous seasons.
Feyenoord
, the defending champions, were eliminated by Romanian club
UTA Arad
in the first round.
