Bayern Munich entered as defending European Cup champions and received a first-round bye, while Leeds United advanced through four qualifying rounds, defeating clubs including Újpest and Barcelona. Both clubs navigated a competitive 1974–75 European Cup campaign to reach the final in Paris.
Played on 28 May 1975 at the Parc des Princes before 48,374 spectators, the final saw Leeds dominate early play but have two penalty appeals rejected and a Peter Lorimer goal disallowed for offside. Bayern Munich scored through Franz Roth in the 71st minute and Gerd Müller ten minutes later to win 2–0.
Bayern Munich claimed their second consecutive European Cup title. Leeds United supporters rioted during the match, leading UEFA to ban the club from European competition for four years, subsequently reduced to two years on appeal, with lasting consequences for the club's standing in the game.
