The 1963–64 European Cup was the ninth season of the European Cup, UEFA's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by Inter Milan, who beat Real Madrid 3–1 in the final at Praterstadion, Vienna, on 27 May 1964.[1] Inter's triumph ensured that Italy became the first country and Milan became the first city with two competition winners.
AC Milan were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Cyprus entered its champion for the first time this season.
Teams
A total of 31 teams participated in the competition.
Italy were represented by two clubs, with Milan qualifying as title holders and Inter Milan as Italian champions. CSKA Red Flag wasn't participating after spell of seven editions, with only ever-present Real Madrid having more appearances in the competition.
Spartak Plovdiv, Anorthosis Famagusta, Motor Jena, Everton, AEK Athens, Ferencváros, Inter Milan, Valletta, Distillery, Lyn, Dundalk and Zürich made their debut in the competition.
PSV Eindhoven returned to the tournament for the first time since inaugural edition, while Borussia Dortmund and Jeunesse Esch returned to the competition after six and three years, respectively.
All participants were their respective associations champions, except for Milan and Lyn. The latter was leading 1. divisjon at the summer break on 1 July 1963, after 9 of 18 matches had been played, but finished second when the league ended in October.[2]
