It would be another 42 years before a club again won this tournament in three consecutive seasons, this being achieved by Real Madrid in 2018. Only Real Madrid, Ajax, and Bayern Munich won in three consecutive seasons.
In France, Saint-Étienne's appearance in the final sparked a huge public enthusiasm. In the final, "the Greens" hit the square posts of Glasgow's Hampden Park stadium. Despite their defeat 1-0, they paraded down the Champs Elysées the following day for their great performance.
