In overall terms, both the tournament's reception and assessment were judged to be overwhelmingly positive with pundits particularly praising the nerve-wracking and dramatic nature of some of the matches while some poked fun at the fact that despite it being held in the {{wp|United Kingdom}} with the intention to celebrate the accession of a {{wp|British}} monarch, no {{wp|English}} or {{wp|Scottish}} clubs ever made it to the finals with {{wp|England}}'s {{wp|Manchester United}} and {{wp|Scotland}}'s {{wp|Celtic F.C.|Celtic}} both defeated by their {{wp|Spanish}} adversaries in the semi-finals.
