UEFA Champions League 1996-97

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1996-97 UEFA Champions League was the 42nd edition of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, and the fifth since its rebranding as the UEFA Champions League. The tournament was won by Borussia Dortmund in a surprise final victory against defending champions Juventus. It was their only title in the tournament to date. The two sides had also met in the final of the UEFA Cup in 1992–93, when the Italian giants were 6-1 (a.g.) victors.
