The 1996 UEFA Super Cup was a two-legged match that took place on 15 January 1997 and 5 February 1997 between Paris Saint-Germain of France, champions of the 1995âÂÂ96 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and Juventus of Italy as winners of the 1995âÂÂ96 UEFA Champions League. Juventus won the tie 9âÂÂ2 on aggregate (a record margin in the history of the cup), humiliating PSG at the Parc des Princes 6âÂÂ1, with goals from Sergio Porrini, Michele Padovano, Ciro Ferrara, Attilio Lombardo and Nicola Amoruso in the first leg (also a record) and winning the second leg 3âÂÂ1 at Stadio La Favorita in Palermo after goals from Alessandro Del Piero and Christian Vieri.
As in the 1994âÂÂ95 UEFA Cup, Juventus chose to play their home leg away from Turin due to poor attendances at the Stadio delle Alpi, in contrast to the big crowds they attracted playing in other cities.
