Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Trophy Play-off

Inter Cities Fairs Cup Trophy Play-off

After the 1970-71 season the organisation of the Fairs Cup was taken over by UEFA. The competition was renamed the UEFA Cup with a new trophy being introduced. A match was played between the first ever Fairs Cup winners, FC Barcelona, and the last winners, Leeds United, to decide who would get to keep the old Fairs Cup trophy permanently. These two teams also had the best overall playing record in the competition since it’s inception in 1955.

Inter Cities Fairs Cup Trophy Play-off, Camp Nou, Barcelona 22 Sep 1971 FC Barcelona 2 Leeds United 1 51′ 1-0 B: Dueñas 52′ 1-1 LU: Jordan 84′ 2-1 B: Dueñas FC Barcelona Sadurni; Rife, Eladio, Torres, Gallego, Costas, Rexach, Carlos, Dueñas, Marcial, Asensi (Fuste) Leeds United Sprake; Reaney, Davey, Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, Lorimer, Jordan, Belfitt, Giles, Galvin Referee: Zsolt (Hungary)

Slightly different squad from the winning one in the spring of 1971, but the trophy was not for them

Barcelona, coach by Rinus Michels now, prevailed and kept the Fairs Cup.
