Why is that the first European Cup final that didn't include Real Madrid had 100,000+ (ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS) less attendance than the one previous to that? The stadium could've held 60k+
You probably won't get an answer to that here.

Because the wankdorf stadium had a small capacity

Six years before that one game it had hosted a WC final with an attendance of 62,000 people.
Probably because football might not have been that big in Switzerland, especially when compared to Britain. I don't think many away fans went to those games as it wasn't as easy to travel back then as it is today.
Who knows. It doesn't really matter. What really matters is that there was actually a time where Benfica was a good team. And Barca, classic chocker pre-Ronaldihno era.

Hampden park was the biggest football stadium in the entire world, until the Maracana was constructed. Scotland also used to be a leading football nation, with a population that was absolutely crazy for the sport.
Now compare that with a smaller stadium, in a country that was far less passionate about the sport and with far less traveling support than today.
