← European Cup Winners' Cup 1974/75 |
The 1975/76 European Cup Winners 'Cup was the 16th edition of the European football cup winners' competition. 32 club teams from 32 nations took part in it, including 25 national cup winners and seven defeated cup finalists (Djurgårdens IF, Atlético Madrid, RC Lens, SK Sturm Graz, FK Borac Banja Luka, Panathinaikos Athens and Haladás Szombathely). Albania did not report any team. Defending champion Dynamo Kiev had won the championship of the Soviet Union in 1974 and thus qualified for the European Cup of National Champions in 1975/76 . A title defense was therefore not possible.
From the Federal Republic of Germany there were DFB Cup winners Eintracht Frankfurt , from the GDR FDGB Cup winners BSG Sachsenring Zwickau , from Austria ÖFB Cup finalists SK Sturm Graz and from Switzerland FC Basel .
With its final victory in front of a home crowd in Brussels , RSC Anderlecht won the first European Cup for Belgium .
The top scorer was the Dutchman Rob Rensenbrink from the title winner RSC Anderlecht with a total of 8 goals.
mode
As usual, the participants played the winner in pure cup mode with home and return matches. If there was a tie after both games, the number of goals scored away decided ( away goal rule ). If their number was also the same, extra time took place in the second leg, in which the away goals rule also applied. If there was still a tie at the end of extra time, a penalty shoot- out was carried out. The final was decided in a game on a neutral court. In the event of a tie after extra time, the winner would also have been determined in a penalty shoot-out.
