Template:Use dmy dates Template:Short descriptionTemplate:Template other The 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final was a football match contested between Barcelona of Spain and the cup holders Paris Saint-Germain of France, to determine the winner of the 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the 37th overall Cup Winners' Cup final. It was held at De Kuip in Rotterdam on 14 May 1997. Barcelona won the match 1–0 thanks to a Ronaldo penalty.
