UEFA Champions League 1995-96

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1995-96 season of the European UEFA Champions League football club tournament was won by Juventus F.C. on penalties in the final against defending champions Ajax Amsterdam. It was the only title that they won in the 1990s despite reaching the next two finals, and one of only two Italian wins in the final despite a Serie A club reaching the final for seven straight years from 1992 to 1998.

It was the first tournament in which three points were awarded for a win instead of two.

[edit] Qualifying round

FC Dynamo Kyiv won their tie against Aalborg BK, but in their first group game against Panathinaikos they were accused of a failed attempt to bribe the referee to get a win, and despite an appeal were thrown out of the competition by UEFA and were banned for the subsequent two years. Aalborg BK replaced them in the group stage. Dynamo's ban was eventually reduced to just one season.
