Dinamo (Bucharest) won their 6th title.

Wales

 

Wales – ranked 16^th, even when the Welsh Federation participated only in the Cup Winners Cup.

 Cardiff City AFC       1-0 3-1 Wrexham AFC              

Wrexham lost both legs. Well... the Third Division team was more or less expected to lose to Second Division team.

Cardiff City won their 16^th Welsh Cup. Five years in a row Cardiff City dominated at home. And the continous success was not over yet.

Bulgaria the Cup

 

Cup: Levski-Spartak Sofia - Lokomotiv Plovdiv 3-0

Strong team, led by Christo Bonev, and having wonderful season, alas, no match for Levski-Spartak at the final.

The winning eleven .

That was the squad for 1970-71 – full of national team players, yet, the forced merger between Levski and Spartak left bitter taste and problems. And to put a particularly sour note on the season was the death of beloved stars Asparoukhov and Kotkov in a car crash. No real joy this season, even with a trophy.
