33rd season of the UEFA club football tournament
International football competition
The 1987–88 European Cup was the 33rd season of the European Cup club football tournament. The competition was won for the first time by PSV Eindhoven , who defeated two-time winners Benfica in the final at Neckarstadion in Stuttgart . PSV became the first Dutch team to win the title in 15 years. They also set a record by winning only three matches on their route to the Cup, including no wins from the quarter-final onwards.
Porto , the defending champions, were eliminated by Real Madrid in the second round.
English clubs were still banned, following the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985, so Everton were denied a place in the competition for the second time in three years.
