Favorite Ajax Amsterdam won the final in the Olympic Stadium in Athens 1-0 against 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. This was the third and, at the same time, the last final appearance of a GDR club team in the European Cup Winners' Cup (and in the European Football Cup in general) after 1974 and 1981 .

The top scorer was the Dutchman John Bosman from title holder Ajax Amsterdam with 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.
