Arsenal were chasing an unprecedented quadruple of titles having already secured the England women's premier league, Women's FA Cup and Women's Premier League Cup. They were the first English team to reach the UEFA Women's Cup Final and to date the only English winner of the competition. Chelsea W.F.C reached the 2021 final but ultimately lost to Barcelona Feminine making them only the second English side to reach the final.

Arsenal W.F.C have gone on to reach three more semi-finals (2011, 2012, 2013) since the competition's name was rebranded to the UEFA Women's Champion's League but never the final, being knocked out by Olympic Lyonnais Feminine, Wolfsburg Fauren and Frankfurt Fauren. With two of their semi-final conquers going on to lift the trophy.

Umeå would go on to reach back to back finals but would ultimately lose to Frankfurt Fauren by a score of 4-3 over two legs. That would end up being the Swedish side's last final in the competition.
