60 years ago, the sixth European Cup was won
On May 11, 1966, Real Madrid defeated Partizan 2-1 thanks to stunning goals by Amancio and Serena.
The Heysel Stadium (Brussels) was the stage for Real Madrid's sixth European Cup 60 years ago. On May 11, 1966, our team expanded its legend with a spectacular victory in the final against Partizan. To claim the title, Miguel Muñoz's team had to come back after Vasovic's opening goal, which they did with two brilliant strikes by Amancio and Serena.
The first was a masterpiece by the Galician legend, who dribbled past his marker and scored with a low shot past the goalkeeper. The second was achieved by Serena with a long-range strike. Real Madrid turned the scoreline around in just six minutes and lifted the title six years later.
Unbeaten at home
On the road to the final, our team won all their matches at the Bernabéu, facing Feyenoord, Kilmarnock, and Anderlecht in the earlier rounds. In the semifinal, they eliminated Inter Milan, champions of the previous two editions.
