Intercontinental Cup 1973

[Note: The runner-up of the 1973 European Champions Cup, Juventus FC, replaced the winner (AFC Ajax) in the final of Intercontinental Cup because the Dutch team withdrew alleging fixture congestion (unofficially, the reason for this withdrawal was the fear of injuries in Ajax players, after the one suffered by Johan Cruijff in last edition’s game in Argentina). On the other hand, the traditional two-legged final was arranged as a single game in Italy, as Juventus also refused to make the long journey to South America.]
