The 1967 European Cup final was a football match contested between Italian team Internazionale and Scottish team Celtic to determine the champion of the 1966–67 European Cup. It took place on 25 May 1967 at the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon, Portugal, in front of a crowd of 45,000. The match was Celtic's first European final and Inter's third; the Italian club had won the tournament in two of the previous three years.
Both teams had to go through four rounds of matches to reach the final. Celtic won their first two ties comfortably, with their second two rounds being tighter. Inter's first tie was very close, but they won their next two by bigger margins. In the semi-final, Inter needed a replay to win their tie.
Inter scored after seven minutes, when Sandro Mazzola converted a penalty. Celtic equalised through Tommy Gemmell after he scored on 63 minutes. Stevie Chalmers then put Celtic in the lead after 84 minutes. The match finished 2–1 to Celtic. It was said to be a victory for football because Celtic's attacking football overcame Inter's catenaccio defensive style, which was considered to be a less attractive way to play the game.[citation needed] Celtic manager Jock Stein and his team received acclaim after the match and were given the nickname the "Lisbon Lions"; this is considered to be the greatest side in the club's history. The victory made Celtic the first British team, and first team from northern Europe, to win the European Cup.
