Match overview
A tactical and tense final saw both teams unable to score during regular and extra time. Valencia won 5–4 on penalties after John Hollins missed the final kick for Arsenal.
It was a cautious match with few clear chances and heavy midfield play.
Trivia
This was the first European final ever decided by a penalty shootout. Valencia lifted their third international trophy, after two Inter-Cities Fairs Cup wins in the 1960s.
