- Norway were in their first final, becoming the tenth different nation to reach the decider.
- This was only the second final after 2012/13 to involve neither Germany nor Spain, and the first time neither side reached the last four.
- Spain went out in the group stage for the first time since the round was introduced in 2013/14 and ended a run of reaching ten straight semi-finals. However, they did qualify for the 14th time – a new outright record, one ahead of Germany.
