The Czechoslovak Cup – it may be tedious reminder, but it was unique formula, existing nowhere else: the national Cup was not full tournament, but a final between the winners of Czech Cup and Slovak Cup. Dominant Sparta won the Czech Cup. Inter (Bratislava) won the Slovak Cup. The Czechoslovak final was entirely predictable and did not go off course: Sparta won 2-0.
As much as Inter (Bratislava) – or Internacional Slovnaft ZTS – wanted to win, they were facing almost the whole Czechoslovakian national team and had no chance to beat the stars. Yet, they were going to play in the Cup Winners Cup as losing finalists and that at least was great – especially at home in Bratislava, where the big boys Slovan only got promotion to come back in First Division. On the down side… Inter had much stronger teams in the 1970s.
Sparta (Prague) finished with a double – a perfect season of supremacy. So far: 16 titles and 18 Cups. And judging from their recent years, this was not going to be the end of their records.
