Milan qualified by winning the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League, defeating Barcelona 4–0 in the final, while Arsenal qualified by winning the 1993–94 European Cup Winners' Cup, beating Parma by a single goal in the final. These victories entitled each club to contest the European Super Cup.
The two-legged European Super Cup was played in February 1995. The first leg at Highbury ended goalless before 38,044 spectators, notable for Paul Merson's return from addiction treatment. Milan won the second leg at the San Siro with goals from Zvonimir Boban and Daniele Massaro, claiming the trophy 2–0 on aggregate.
Milan secured the European Super Cup as their third trophy overall, and the competition was renamed the UEFA Super Cup the following season. The tie was also overshadowed by the death of Genoa supporter Vincenzo Spagnolo, stabbed before a separate fixture, prompting a minute's silence before the first leg and a week-long suspension of Italian football.
