Lyon played the final for the third consecutive time.[2] It also marked the third time in a row that a French and a German club met in the final.[3]

The attendance of 50,212 was claimed by UEFA as a European record for women's club football,[4] ignoring the existence of earlier reported women's club match attendances of 53,000.[5] Both figures were later surpassed by a 2019 match in Spain.[6]
