context_page_description: The 1972 European Cup Final was a football match held at De Kuip, Rotterdam, on 31 May 1972, that was contested between AFC Ajax of the Netherlands and Internazionale of Italy to determine the champion of the 1971–72 European Cup. Ajax defeated Inter by a score of 2–0 to claim their second successive European Cup victory, following their triumph in the 1971 final. Two second-half goals from forward Johan Cruyff provided the margin of victory for the Dutch side.
  This game is often said to be Total Football's greatest moment; Ajax dominated much of the game as Inter defended desperately with their catenaccio strategy.
