The
Football - The second European Cup held in 1964,
gave birth to Spain as the winner. Here are
some interesting facts about the event,
as quoted from the official website of
the tournament:
- Spain beat defending champion Soviet Union in the final with a score of 2-1. They should also meet the European Cup quarterfinal in 1960, but Spain withdrew because of reluctance to compete in the communist country.
-Before the final, the Spanish coach Jose Villalonga field sketching in the sand and use the stone as a symbol of the players, pine seeds for players of the Soviet Union. He told me, stronger than stone pine seeds.
- The player who makes the winner on 84 minutes, Marcelino, also scored in the last minute to bring Real Zaragoza in the final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (UEFA Cup before named), against Valencia, four days after the final of Euro 1964.
- Jesus Pereda scored in the sixth minute for Spain, when the Soviet Union's defeat in the final in Madrid. That's the fastest goal in European Cup final history.
- The referee who led the 1964 final was Arthur Holland of England. Four years earlier, the referee who led the first European Cup final (1960) is the Arthur Ellis, also from England. For the first time that two European Cup finals in a row led by the referee from the same country.
- 1964 European Cup was the first major trophy won by Spain, and was achieved at home. Their second success is the 1992 Olympic gold medal, also at home (Barcelona). New in 2008 they won the Euro again not in "Matador State" - and also won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
