Real Madrid had won the European Cup in each of its first three editions, establishing themselves as the competition's dominant force. Stade de Reims, the only other finalist in European Cup history, qualified as French champions to face Madrid once more, reprising their 1956 encounter.
On 3 June 1959 at the Neckarstadion in Stuttgart, Real Madrid faced Stade de Reims in the European Cup final. Goals from Enrique Mateos and Alfredo Di Stéfano secured a 2–0 victory for the Spanish club, who lifted the trophy for the fourth time in as many years.
The victory extended Real Madrid's unbroken run of European Cup titles to four, reinforcing their status as the preeminent club side in Europe. No other club had yet won the competition, and Madrid's continued success set a benchmark for sustained excellence in continental football.
