The thirteenth and final Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was played over the 1970–71 season. The competition was won by Leeds United for the second time, over two legs, in the final against Juventus. It was the first time the competition final had been won on the away goals rule. The competition was abolished and replaced the next season by the UEFA Cup.[1] The Inter-Cities Fairs trophy was finally won in a play-off between the first and last competition winners: CF Barcelona and Leeds United, respectively.[1]
