Real Madrid 7 Eintracht Frankfurt 3 Puskas 4, Di Stefano 3Stein 2, Kress Real Madrid: Dominguez, Marquitos, Santamaria, Pachin, Zarraga (capt), Vidal, Canario, Del Sol, Di Stefano, Puskas, Gento Eintracht Frankfurt: Loy, Lutz, Eigenbrodt, Hofer, Weilbacher, Stinka, Kress, Lindner, Stein, Pfaff (capt), Meier This final was significant for lots of reasons; firstly it is the first and only time that 2 players have scored hat-tricks in the same final.
Secondly it was the last time that Real Madrid won this cup for a number of years and The Hampden Park attendance of 127,621 is still the biggest for a European Cup Final.
While Real began slowly and it was no surprise when Eintracht took a deserved lead on 18 minutes when Kress volleyed a low cross into the net.
With Real playing well below their best it appeared that a shock might be on the cards, but that was when Di Stefano took control of the game and Real produced a display that no team, let alone Eintracht, could have coped with.
Almost immediately after the opening goal, a header from Puskas put Gento clear of the German defence and his shot clipped the outside of the post.
Moments later, with his first foray into the Frankfurt penalty area, Di Stefano was found by Canario's pass and swept the ball past goalkeeper Loy to maintain his incredible record of scoring in every European Cup Final.
Two minutes later, Loy fumbled a Canario shot, and Di Stefano, was quickest to react as he slammed the ball into the net and gave Real the lead.
Ferenc Puskas now showed his finishing power as he scored four goals without reply to put Real out of sight.
The Hungarian made it 3-1 on the stroke of half-time when he crashed the ball into the roof of the net from the tightest of angles, added a penalty after 56 minutes following a foul by Lutz, and then scored another two, courtesy of a close range header and an 18 yard pivot shot, to give Real a 6-1 lead with twenty minutes remaining.
Stein managed to pull a goal back for the Germans, but Di Stefano hit back almost immediately.
Picking the ball up in the centre circle, he brushed aside one opponent and then played a one-two with a team-mate to get past two defenders and heunleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the area which saw the ball fly into the bottom left hand corner of the goal.
Stein did manage to score yet again for the Germans who battled on until the final whistle, but they had been well and truly outclassed and, as the final whistle blew, the Hampden crowd cheered and applauded Real Madrid whose 7-3 victory had left them simply awestruck.
Real Madrid won the cup for the 5th consecutive time
