Three seasons had now passed since the ban on English clubs in European competitions as a result of the Heysel disaster (1985) had been lifted, and for this campaign the number of English clubs in the competition was increased from one to two. English league runners-up Manchester United were joined by third placed Sheffield Wednesday, though both teams ultimately had a short-lived run in the competition. Poland earned one more seat, while Finland and Hungary lost one.
Ajax were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Auxerre.
