The 1975 European Cup final was a football match between Bayern Munich of West Germany and Leeds United of England, played on 28 May 1975 at the Parc des Princes in Paris.

Bayern Munich were appearing in their second final; they had won the previous season's competition, beating Spanish team Atlético Madrid 4–0 in a replay after the first match finished 1–1.

Watched by a crowd of 48,374, Leeds had the best of the opening exchanges of the match and had two appeals for a penalty kick turned down by the referee Michel Kitabdjian.

Bayern suffered two injuries in the first half, to defender Björn Andersson and striker Uli Hoeneß, following strong tackles by Leeds players.

The Bavarian side contained many great players such as Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Uli Hoeneß, who had featured heavily in West Germany's 1974 World Cup victory the previous season, and as such were heavy favourites.

Bayern became the domestically worst-performing winner of the European Champions Cup up to then, finishing only 10th in the Bundesliga with a negative goal difference.

For Leeds United – only the second English club to reach the final after Manchester United in 1968, and the second team in history to reach the finals of all three European cup competitions after FC Barcelona – the game was the climax of the "glory years" of the team built by former manager Don Revie.

In the 23rd minute, Bayern captain Franz Beckenbauer was in his own penalty box on the ground and rested on his left arm which subsequently came into contact with the ball.

[6] The 'luckier' Bayern, on the other hand, would remain one of Europe's top clubs and would go on to victory in the 1976 final, completing a hat-trick of wins – but would ultimately have to wait until 2001 for their fourth title.
