#6 Benfica 5-3 Real Madrid - 1962
Heading into this final, only either of these two teams had ever tasted European glory. Real Madrid has won the first five finals and Benfica had won the Cup the previous year.
If Benfica were hoping to repeat their feat, they got off to the worst possible start. Hungarian maestro Ferenc Puskas scored twice in quick succession to put his side 2-0 up. He scored again as Benfica trailed 2-3 at half-time.
They exploded after the interval courtesy of young Portuguese sensation Eusebio, scoring three unanswered goals.
Eusebio scored two of them, a penalty which turned out to be the game-winner and a thunderbolt to boot. A sensational win for the Portugal side.
Benfica failed to repeat their achievement, whereas opponents Madrid won the title 7 times in the future.
