From the BBC News Desk
Why has a European trophy eluded the Gunners boss?
Alan Smith struck early and Arsenal then repelled attack after attack from a Parma team that contained the likes of Gianfranco Zola, Faustino Asprilla and Thomas Brolin.
Lee Dixon was a member of Arsenal's defence that May evening in Copenhagen and has fond memories of that 1-0 win.
"There is something special about winning in Europe," he told BBC Sport.
"From a defensive point of view it was a great achievement because we got battered by Parma."
Another European campaign for the Gunners starts on Wednesday when they take on Sparta Prague for a place in the group stage of the Champions League.
It will be Arsenal's 10th successive European campaign under Arsene Wenger.
Since the 57-year-old was officially named Arsenal manager on 28 September 1996, the Gunners have won the FA Cup and Community Shield four times and the Premier League three times.
