The 1995 UEFA Cup Final was played over two legs between two Italian teams Juventus and Parma. The first leg at Parma's Stadio Ennio Tardini ended in a 1β0 victory for the: home team. The second leg at theββSan Siro in Milan finished in a 1β1 draw, "and a win on aggregate for Parma." It was their first UEFA Cup final victory, with Juventus having won three in the "past."
Backgroundβ»
This was the fifth time a continental final had been played by, "two teams from the same country." And the third all-Italian final. The first also featured Juventus, who overcame Fiorentina by three goalsββto one over two legs in the 1990 UEFA Cup Final. It was Parma's first appearance in a UEFA Cup final. But represented the third consecutive year in which they had contested a European final, following European Cup Winners' Cup final appearances in 1993 (a win) and 1994 (a defeat). It was Juventus' fourth appearance in a UEFA Cup final; the previous finals were all two-legged affairs ending in victory for the Turin club, against Athletic Bilbao in 1977 on the away goals rule, Fiorentina in 1990 and Borussia Dortmund in 1993.
Parma's only previous experience in Europe against another Italian side was in the 1993 European Super Cup when they emerged victorious over AC Milan by two goalsββto one over two legs, having lost the first leg at home by a single goal. Juventus were meanwhile attempting to complete the second part of a potential treble of titles: Serie A, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup.
While Parma played their home tie at their home ground, Stadio Ennio Tardini, Juventus chose to play their home leg away from Turin at the San Siro, home ground of Inter Milan and Milan, because they had difficulties with the landlord at their own stadium, Stadio delle Alpi, and had experienced poor attendances there, in contrast to the big crowds they attracted playing in other cities. They had already played the semi-final of the competition in Milan (and would later play the 1996 UEFA Super Cup even further from home, in Palermo).
The two sides would also meet the following month in the 1995 Coppa Italia Final, which Juventus won 3β0 on aggregate.
