1963 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final

Both finalists' second-round ties went to a play-off match. After drawing 2–2 on aggregate against Belgian side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Dinamo won the decisive replay 3–2. The replay was held at a neutral venue, the Gugl-Stadion in Linz, Austria.[1] Meanwhile, holders Valencia blew a four-goal lead in the second leg away to Dunfermline Athletic–– a side managed by future Celtic boss Jock Stein–– which left the tie deadlocked at 6–6. Los Che won 1–0 in their replay, which was played at the neutral Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon.[2] (This was before the institution of the away goals rule in UEFA competitions.)

Perhaps a bit unusually, the first three opponents that Valencia faced in the competition were all clubs from Scotland.
