Chelsea were led onto the field by Roberto Di Matteo, who had been forced to retire from football earlier in the season due to a serious injury. Ljungberg, having also scored in the 2001 final, became the first man to score goals in successive FA Cup finals since Tottenham Hotspur's Bobby Smith, who scored in 1961 and 1962. Arsenal's subsequent Premier League title triumph saw them equal Manchester United's record of three doubles.
