The 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup Final was a football match between 1968-69 FA Cup winners, Manchester City of England and 1968-69 Polish Cup winners, Górnik Zabrze of Poland on 29 April 1970 at Praterstadion in Vienna, Austria. It was the final match of the 1969–70 European Cup Winners' Cup and the tenth European Cup Winners' Cup final. Both sides made their first appearance in a European final. Manchester City won the match 2–1 thanks to goals by Neil Young and Francis Lee. The result was City's lone European triumph for more than 50 years, until their victory in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League.[1][2]
The game was not televised live in the United Kingdom due to a clash with the 1970 FA Cup final replay.[3]
