Vím, že jsme nepodali takový výkon, jaký se od nás očekával, ale chlapcům nelze upřit velkou bojovnost a snahu po vítězství. Obě mužstva se zejména v obraně dopustila několika chyb, z kterých padly goly. Ale tak už to ve fotbale bývá. Myslím si, že jsme dobře reprezentovali československý fotbal a dokázali jeho stoupající tendenci. Podobný uspěch bych přál i našim reprezentantům v Budapešti. It's hard for me to speak, I'm extremely happy. I know we didn't perform as expected, but you can't deny the boys' great fighting spirit and desire to win. Both teams made several mistakes, especially in defence, leading to goals. But that's how it is in football. I think we represented Czechoslovak football well and proved its upward trajectory. I wish similar success for our national team in Budapest. Barcelona manager Salvador Artigas congratulated his opponents, describing the Bratislava players as more tactical and combative. He also bemoaned his side's bad luck.

Střetla se v něm dvě technická mužstva a podle mého názoru zvítězili štastnější bratislavští fotbalisté. Na naše kopačky se lepila smůla. Mohli jsme zápas vyhrát, ale pohár ziskal taktičtější a bojovnější soupeř. Patři mu za to naše blahopřání. I think there was a good level in the final. Two technical teams came together and in my opinion, the luckier Bratislava players won. Bad luck stuck to our boots. We could have won the match, but the cup was won by a more tactical and combative opponent. For that they deserve our congratulations. During the match, famous commentator Gabo Zelenay delivered the slogan "Bieli jastrabi z Tehelného poľa bratislavského" (White Hawks from Tehelné pole Bratislava), referring to the Slovan players who had achieved success in the final. The phrase later became one of the nicknames for the club.VIDEO: Bieli jastrabi z Tehelného poľa bratislavského https://www.skslovan.com/7003 2026-02-24 www.skslovan.com sk See also 1969 European Cup Final 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final FC Barcelona in international football competitions ŠK Slovan Bratislava in European football References External links UEFA Cup Winners' Cup results at Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation Match report Final Cup Winners' Cup Final 1969 Cup Winners' Cup Final 1969 1969 Category:UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals Euro Euro European Cup Winners' Cup Final Category:Sports competitions in Basel Category:20th century in Basel Category:Slovakia–Spain sports relations Category:Czechoslovakia–Spain relations Category:1968–69 in Swiss football Category:Long stubs with short prose
