The victory made Ajax only the second team – after Torino's city rivals Juventus – to have won all three major European trophies (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup). As the only English team in the tournament due to the aftermath of the 5-year ban for the Heysel disaster, and having been excluded for an additional year, Liverpool made its comeback to international competition for the first time since the 1985 European Cup final that sparked the ban.
