Trivia and records

For the 1994–95 season, England had two representatives in the tournament, neither of which were the domestic cup winners. The first was Arsenal, who were the Cup Winners' Cup holders, and the second was Chelsea, who had lost the 1994 FA Cup final to double winners Manchester United, who had qualified for the 1994–95 UEFA Champions League. Both Arsenal and Chelsea were eliminated from the competition by eventual winners Real Zaragoza of Spain.
For the 1996–97 season, the same situation happened for France. The first was Paris Saint-Germain F.C., who were the trophy holders, and the second was Nîmes Olympique, who had lost the Coupe de France final against AJ Auxerre, who had qualified for the 1996–97 UEFA Champions League.
