The 1970 European Cup final was an association football match played between FeijenoordThough the club was interchangeably referred to as either SC Feijenoord (the original Dutch spelling) or Feyenoord (the spelling used internationally) in the years prior, it would not be until 1974 that the club officially changed its name to Feyenoord, which is an anglicised spelling.http://www.stadionfeijenoord.nl/pagestadion.php?id=4&l=2&i=5 Wist u dat... stadionfeijenoord.nl Stadion Feijenoord N.V. https://web.archive.org/web/20071231020323/http://www.stadionfeijenoord.nl/pagestadion.php?id=4&l=2&i=5 31 December 2007 nl zowel Stadion Feijenoord als Feyenoord Rotterdam met een lange ij geschreven werd. Pas in 1974 besloot de voetbalclub een y te gebruiken, de lange ij gaf namelijk problemen met de uitspraak in het buitenland of the Netherlands and Celtic of Scotland on 6 May 1970 at the San Siro, Milan, Italy. The showpiece event was the final match of the 1969–70 season of Europe's premier cup competition, the European Cup. Feyenoord were appearing in their first final, while Celtic were appearing in their second final, after winning the competition in 1967. Feyenoord won 2–1 after extra time. Ove Kindvall's goal in the 117th minute meant the trophy was won by a Dutch club for the first time. It remains Feyenoord's only European Cup triumph.
For losing finalists Celtic, this marked the second, and to date most recent, European Cup final appearance in club history, after the famous win by the "Lisbon Lions" side in the 1967 edition. The match nearly never took place due to massive strikes throughout Italy in 1970; the Italian Football Federation backed down to ensure that their own clubs would be able to compete in further UEFA competitions.August 2021

Summary
In contrast to their win in the European Cup final three years prior, in which they had gone into the match as heavy underdogs against Inter Milan, this time around, Celtic entered the final as strong favourites over Feyenoord.August 2020 However, despite Celtic's Tommy Gemmell opening the scoring after 30 minutes, they were outplayed by the Dutch outfit, whose manager, Ernst Happel, ensured Celtic winger Jimmy Johnstone was double marked at all times, whilst the midfield trio of Franz Hasil, Willem van Hanegem, and Wim Jansen dominated their Scottish counterparts. Rinus Israël quickly equalised with his head; remarkably, this was the first goal of Feyenoord's European campaign that they scored away from their home stadium.fn2
In the second half, Celtic managed to hold on at 1–1 to force extra time.https://www.theblizzard.co.uk/article/feyenoord-2-celtic-1 Feyenoord 2 Celtic 1 The Blizzard 10 March 2020 10 May 2020 Michael Gallagher 8 May 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200508213437/https://www.theblizzard.co.uk/article/feyenoord-2-celtic-1 dead
With just a few minutes of extra-time remaining, a long free-kick from the Feyenoord half was sent towards the Celtic penalty area. Celtic defender and captain Billy McNeill stumbled and misjudged the ball, and as he tried to recover he appeared to punch the ball away. Before the referee had a chance to award a penalty, Ove Kindvall reacted quickly, running on and chipping the ball over the advancing goalkeeper Evan Williams to seal a 2–1 win for Feyenoord.Season 1969-70 http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro70.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083252/http://www.europeancuphistory.com/euro70.html usurped 29 September 2007 European Cup History 6 October 2013Brogan Tom Celtic 1970: European Cup Final v Feyenoord – The Dream Ends http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2006/10/20/celtic-1970-european-cup-final-v-feyenoord-the-dream-ends/ State of the Game 26 July 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20080819150316/http://stateofthegame.co.uk/2006/10/20/celtic-1970-european-cup-final-v-feyenoord-the-dream-ends/ 19 August 2008
