• Newcastle United became the first team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first three games.
• Maccabi Haifa became the first Israeli team to participate in the UEFA Champions League
• The final was the second UEFA Champions League to be contested by teams from the same country. The first was in 2000 in an all Spanish final between Real Madrid and Valencia.

• Milan and Internazionale met in the semi finals, making it the first time a local derby took place during the Champions League.^{[citation needed]}
• Clarence Seedorf became the first player to win the Champions League with three different teams. He also won with Ajax and Real Madrid.
