The 1973 European Super Cup (it was named the Super Competition at that time[1]) was played between 1972–73 European Cup winners Ajax and 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup winners Milan, with Ajax winning 6–1 on aggregate, making it the worst defeat for an Italian team in an UEFA competition final.[2] Unlike future Super Cup matches, the 1973 edition took place at the start of the following calendar year rather than the start of the following season.
