Tournament statistics
Top scorer(s) Jean-Pierre Papin & Peter Pacult (6 goals)

The 1990–91 season of the European Cup football club tournament was won for the first time by Red Star Belgrade on penalties in the final against Marseille. This was only the second time that an Eastern European side had won the competition, after Steaua Bucureşti of Romania (1986). It was also the last tournament to be solely knock-out based, with a group stage added for the next season.

This tournament would have marked the return of English clubs after a five-year ban resulting from the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 but English champions Liverpool had been banned for six years, so could not participate.

Milan were the defending champions and were given a bye to the second round due to the absence of both an English and a Dutch side in the tournament, before being eliminated by Marseille in the quarter-finals after the second leg had been awarded as a 3–0 win for Marseille when the eventual runners-up were leading 1–0, and 2–1 on aggregate, in injury time, when the floodlights failed. Milan refused to play on when floodlights were fixed and were banned, giving Marseille a 3–0 automatic walkover. Ajax Amsterdam, the Dutch champions of the 1989/1990 season, were not allowed to participate in a European Cup competition in 1990/1991 because of the Ajax vs. Austria Vienna match in september 1989 when a supporter threw an iron bar on the field, which hit goal keeper Wohlfahrt.
