This was the first of only two times in the history of the UEFA Cup, its unofficial predecessor Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, or its successor UEFA Europa League when both finalists won their national championship in the same season. Until then, this had only happened twice in the European Cup, and it would only happen once in the European Cup Winners Cup.

Club Brugge was the first Belgian team to reach a UEFA Cup final, six years after Anderlecht also reached the final in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, its predecessor tournament. The final's first leg was the last major final held at Anfield in one of the three premier European club championships, although the stadium would also host two UEFA Super Cup legs in later finals.
