The 1959–60 European Cup was the fifth season of the European Cup, Europe's premier club football tournament. The competition was won by Real Madrid, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7–3 in the final at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on 18 May 1960,[1] thanks to first ever hat-tricks scored in the final of the competition by Ferenc Puskás and Alfredo Di Stéfano.[2] It remains the record score and record attendance for the European Cup final.[3] It was Real Madrid's fifth consecutive title, which is a feat that no other club has matched.

It was also the first time that a German team, Eintracht Frankfurt, reached the final. They were debutants in the competition and it wasn't until 1983–84 European Cup and AS Roma that another debutants ended up on the losing side in the final.

The tournament saw the first participation by a Greek club, Greek Champions Olympiacos, who had withdrawn from the previous season after being already placed in the bracket. It meant that no new country entered the competition for the first time since tournament inception.

Teams
