The Scottish Cup Final is played at Hampden annually in May, for the honour of lifting the world's oldest national trophy – the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, made in 1873. Queen's Park were the first winners, beating Clydesdale 2–0 in the 1874 final.
Hampden Park hosted the 1960 European Cup final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt, where over 130,000 people watched Real Madrid win 7–3. The 1976 final was also held at Hampden, when FC Bayern Munich defeated AS Saint-Etienne. Real Madrid were again victorious when Hampden Park hosted the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2002, defeating Bayer Leverkusen, aided by Zinedine Zidane's legendary "wonder goal". Hampden Park also hosted the 2007 UEFA Cup Final on 16 May when Sevilla defeated Espanyol to retain the trophy. It also held famous wins for the Scotland national football team, such as the 1–0 wins over Netherlands in November 2003, and against France in October 2006. Diego Maradona scored his first international goal at Hampden Park, against Scotland, in 1979.
