The 1960 European Cup final was a football match played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland on 18 May 1960 as the conclusion to the 1959–60 European Cup.
The match was contested by four-time defending champions Real Madrid of Spain, the only previous team to win the competition, and Eintracht Frankfurt of West Germany.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest football matches ever played, Real Madrid won 7–3 in front of a record crowd of over 127,000 people. Real Madrid players Alfredo Di Stéfano (3) and Ferenc Puskás (4) both scored hat-tricks in the final.
Until the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, in which Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5–0, the match held the record for the largest margin of victory in a European Cup final.
