Thus emerged the Intercontinental Cup because of the victory of Vasco (America) over Real Madrid (Europe)
Di Stéfano's Real Madrid were part of the generation that won the first five editions of the European Champions Cup (1955/1956), (1956/1957), (1957/1958), (1958/1959), (1959/1960). ), years later, the club would be named "The Largest Club of the Century" in FIFA polls. In June 1957, Real Madrid were defeated, for the first time after becoming European champions, by a non-European team, Vasco da Gama Brazilian, in the final of the Paris tournament, raising doubts about the then European champions unbeaten.
Testing the alleged unbeaten record of Real Madrid was one of the reasons that motivated the Intercontinental Cup.
