The Cup final was Lisbon derby – Benfica vs Sporting. Of course, Sporting wanted to beat the arch-enemy, but Benfica prevailed 2-1.
Too bad Sporting ended the season without a trophy, but it was quite fair to see them lose: at least the objective strength was preserved: Sporting was not as good as Benfica and FC Porto.
Benfica won the Cup for a third year in a row. The whole total was 21 Cups and 27 titles – fantastic record of success and also it was a double, so it was nice – from Benfica’s point of view – to best so categorically the team which conquered Europe.
