Arsenal were chasing an unprecedented quadruple having already secured the Women's Premier League, Women's FA Cup and Women's Premier League Cup.[4] In reaching the last two, Arsenal became the first English team to reach the UEFA Women's Cup Final, and by winning became the first to become champions of Europe.
Arsenal W.F.C went on to reach four more European semi-finals (2011, 2012, 2013, and 2023) but did not reach the final again until 2025, when they defeated Barcelona 1–0 to become two time European champions. No other English team has won the competition under either of its names. Umeå would go on to reach back to back finals but would ultimately lose to Frankfurt Frauen by a score of 4–3 over two legs. That would end up being the Swedish side's last final in the competition as of 2025.
