Real Madrid became the first club to successfully defend the UEFA Cup, a feat that would only be repeated by Sevilla in two different occasions during the 21st century, both in the UEFA Cup (2006 and 2007) and its successor UEFA Europa League (2014 and 2015). In the former Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the unofficial predecessor of the UEFA Cup, it was only achieved by a representative team of the city of Barcelona (1958 and 1960) and by Valencia (1963 and 1964), both also fellow Spanish squads.
It was the first season in which English clubs were serving an indefinite ban from European football competitions due to the Heysel Stadium disaster, which would last for five seasons before being lifted for the 1990-91 season.
