Frankfurt won the UEFA Cup in 1980, the forerunner of the European League. In the two-match final, another German team surpassed Mönchengladbach. In 1972, the Rangers won the then Cup Winners’ Cup after a triumph over Dynamo Moscow.
Opponents competed in the cups 62 years ago in the semifinals of the then European Champions Cup and it was a clear matter. Frankfurt won 6: 1 after a 6: 1 home win.
