<P> In 1967 , Celtic became the first British team to win the competition , coming back from 1 -- 0 down after a Sandro Mazzola penalty to beat Internazionale 2 -- 1 in the Estádio Nacional in Lisbon , with goals from Tommy Gemmell and Stevie Chalmers . The team , which became known as the Lisbon Lions , managed by Jock Stein , were unique as they were all born within 30 miles ( 48 km ) of Celtic Park in Glasgow . </P>
