The1969–70 European Cup was the 15th season of theEuropean Cup, a clubfootball tournament organised byUEFA for the domestic league champions of its member associations. It was won byFeyenoord of the Netherlands, who beat Scottish clubCeltic after extra time in thefinal atSan Siro in Milan on 6 May 1970. It was the first time the title had been won by a club from the Netherlands, and sparked a period of Dutch dominance in the competition, asAjax won the next three titles.
For the first time in the European Cup,tiebreaker playoffs were abandoned in favour of theaway goals rule; if both teams had scored the same number of away goals, one side was eliminated by thetoss of a coin, something that was required in two of the matches (marked on the table below by "c/t").
Milan were the defending champions, but were eliminated by eventual champions Feyenoord in the second round.
