The 1957–58 European Cup was the third season of the European Cup. The tournament was won by Real Madrid for a third time, as they beat Milan 3–2 after extra time in the final at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, on 28 May 1958.[1]

The tournament was marred by the events of the Munich air disaster, where eight Manchester United players died while coming back from a match against Red Star Belgrade in Belgrade.
