General performances

By club

A total of 22 clubs have won the tournament since its 1955 inception, with Real Madrid being the only team to win it eleven times, including the first five. Only two other clubs have reached ten or more finals: Milan and Bayern Munich. A total of 12 clubs have won the tournament multiple times: the three forementioned clubs, along with Liverpool, Ajax, Barcelona, Internazionale, Manchester United, Benfica, Nottingham Forest, Juventus and Porto. A total of 17 clubs have reached the final without ever managing to win the tournament.

Clubs from ten different countries have provided tournament winners. Spanish clubs have been the most successful, winning a total of 16. Italy and England are joint-second with 12, while the other multiple-time winners are Germany with seven, Netherlands with six, and Portugal with four. The only other countries to provide a tournament winner are Scotland, Romania, Yugoslavia and France. Greece, Belgium and Sweden have all provided losing finalists.

Clubs from a total of 35 European cities have participated in the tournament final. Clubs from 21 cities have provided winners, with the clear city leaders being Madrid (winning eleven) and Milan (winning ten); though both Milan and Internazionale have helped the city of Milan be successful, only Real Madrid have won it for the city of Madrid, with Atlético Madrid losing all three of their finals (albeit two of these were against city rivals Real Madrid, therefore by the time of these two finals, a win for the city of Madrid was guaranteed).

Winning other trophies

See also Treble (association football) and Tuples in association football.

Although not an officially recognized achievement, seven clubs have achieved the distinction of winning the Champions League or European Cup, their domestic championship, and their primary domestic cup competition in the same season, known colloquially as "the treble":

• Celtic in 1967, having won the European Cup, the Scottish First Division, and the Scottish Cup.
• Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• PSV Eindhoven in 1988 did likewise, having won the European Cup the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup.
• Manchester United in 1999, having won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
• Barcelona in 2009, which included La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
• Internazionale in 2010, which included Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League.
• Bayern Munich in 2013, which included Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League
• Barcelona in 2015 won the treble for the second time, having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.

Liverpool in 1984 won the English First Division and the European Cup. However, this 'treble' included the Football League Cup rather than the FA Cup.

Bayern Munich in 2001 won the Bundesliga and the Champions League. However, this 'treble' included the DFB-Ligapokal rather than the DFB-Pokal.

In addition to this treble, several of these clubs went on to win further cups. However, most of these cups were technically won the following year following the conclusion of regular domestic or international leagues the year before. Also, several domestic cups may not have been extant at the time that equivalent cups were won by clubs of other nations, and in some cases they remain so. Furthermore, there is much variance in the regard with which several cups are taken both over time and between nations. Regardless, the following clubs all won competitions further to the treble mentioned above:

• Celtic also won their secondary domestic cup competition, the Scottish League Cup, in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quadruple"), thus making their achievement unique in this respect to every other club.
• Ajax also won the Intercontinental Cup (the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup and the de facto premier global club cup) and the inaugural (and technically unofficial) UEFA Super Cup the following season, forming part of a quintuple of Cup successes; they thus won all available cups to them.
• Manchester United won the Intercontinental Cup the following season, winning a quadruple of cups.
• Barcelona won the FIFA Club World Cup, the European Super Cup, and the Supercopa de España the following season, making it a sextuple of cup successes, and thus winning all available cups to them.
• Internazionale completed The Quintuple by winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Supercoppa Italiana.
• Bayern Munich also won the DFL-Supercup in the start of the 2012–13 season, winning a quadruple of cups.

Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are also the only teams to have won the three major UEFA official Cups, namely UEFA Champions League/European Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/Europa League.^[6]

Juventus was the first club in association football history—and remain the only one at present—to have won all official continental tournaments and the world champions title.^[6][7][8][9]

Chelsea became the first club to hold the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League trophies simultaneously by winning 2011–12 UEFA Champions League and 2012–13 UEFA Europa League.^[10]

• The away goals rule was introduced in 1967–68, with Valur beating Jeunesse Esch 4–4 (1–1, 3–3) and Benfica beating Glentoran 1–1 (1–1, 0–0), both in the first round. Benfica later progressed to the final.
• In 2002–03, Milan and Internazionale met in the semi-final. Sharing the same stadium (Giuseppe Meazza), they played 0–0 in the first tie and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and so became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium. They later went on to win the final against Juventus.
• Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after extra time. In the semi-final against Bayern Munich in 1989–90, Milan won 1–0 at home and was 0–1 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals. They later went on to win the final against Benfica. In the round of 16 against Chelsea in 2014–15, PSG drew 1–1 at home and away. Both teams scored one goal each in extra time, giving PSG the victory on away goals.

Penalty shootout

• The first penalty shootout in the European Cup was between Everton and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 4 November 1970, after both games ended 1–1. Gladbach's Klaus-Dieter Sieloff was the first player to score on a penalty kick, while Everton's Joe Royle was the first to miss. Everton went on to win 4–3 with Sandy Brown scoring the decisive goal.
• The first penalty shootout in a final was between Liverpool and Roma in the 1984 final after 1–1 (aet). Roma's Agostino Di Bartolomei was the first player to score, while Liverpool's Steve Nicol was the first to miss. Liverpool went on to win 4–2 with Alan Kennedy scoring the deciding goal. Kennedy also scored the deciding goal in the 1981 final.
• 11 finals have been decided by a penalty shootout. Liverpool is the only team to have won more than once (1984 and 2005), while Juventus, Milan, Bayern Munich and Chelsea have won one and lost one. No team has lost twice.
• Barcelona and Bayern Munich are the only teams to have been involved in two penalty shootouts in the same season. In 1985–86, Barcelona beat IFK Göteborg in the semi-final, but lost to Steaua București in the final. In 2011–12, Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid in the semi-final but lost to Chelsea in the final.

Extra time

• 17 finals have gone to extra time. One was replayed, eleven went to penalty shootout, while the remaining five were decided after 120 minutes:
  • Real Madrid beat Milan 3–2 in 1958
  • Manchester United beat Benfica 4–1 in 1968
  • Feyenoord beat Celtic 2–1 in 1970
  • Barcelona beat Sampdoria 1–0 in 1992
  • Real Madrid beat Atlético Madrid 4–1 in 2014

Most goals in a match

• Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw 8–4 in the group stage in 2016–17. This is the record for the Champions League era.
• Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7–3 in the 1960 final. This is the overall record for all European Cup/Champions League finals.

Not winning the domestic league

• Nottingham Forest is the only club to have won the European Cup more times (twice) than they have won their domestic league (once). Forest won the English League in 1978 before winning the European Cup in 1979 and defending it in 1980. Nottingham Forest are also the only previous winners of the European Cup to be later relegated to the third tier of their national league (in 2005).
• The competition format was changed in 1997–98 to allow teams that were not champions of their domestic league to compete in the competition. Since then there have been European Champions who had not been domestic champions. Notable instances include the following
  • Manchester United's treble-winners of 1999 were the first winners of the tournament to have won neither their domestic title nor the European Cup/Champions League the previous season. Since then, Real Madrid (2000, 2014, 2016), Milan (2003 and 2007), Liverpool (2005), Barcelona (2009 and 2015), and Chelsea (2012) have achieved this feat.
  • Liverpool's 2005 triumph came 15 years after their previous domestic league title (1990). That was the longest time any Champions League winner had gone since previously winning their league. Prior to this, the longest time period for any winner was Milan, whose victory in 2003 had come four years since their last Serie A win.
• Bayer Leverkusen (in 2002) is the only club to play in the final having never won their domestic league.

Knocked out on 3 points for a win rule

1995–96 was the first tournament in which three points were awarded for a win instead of two. The following teams were knocked out from the group stage, but would have advanced following the old rule:

• Rosenborg was ranked fourth out of six runners-up in 1997–98, but would have equaled the points of Paris Saint-Germain and eventual finalists Juventus and advanced on goal difference
• Bayer Leverkusen ended third in Group A in 1999–2000, but would have been one point ahead of Dynamo Kyiv
• Panathinaikos ended third in Group E in 2004–05, but would have equaled the points of PSV Eindhoven and advanced on head-to-head matches
• Werder Bremen ended third in Group B in 2008–09, but would have equaled the points of Internazionale and advanced on head-to-head matches

Qualifying from first qualifying round

• Liverpool in 2005–06
• Artmedia Bratislava in 2005–06
• Anorthosis in 2008–09
• BATE Borisov in 2008–09

In the 2013–14 season the streak continued with group stage wins over Manchester City (3–1) at the City of Manchester Stadium, Viktoria Plzeň (1–0) and CSKA Moscow (3–1). The record equaling seventh win was achieved when they again defeated Arsenal 2–0 at the Emirates Stadium in the round of 16 first leg on 19 February 2014. Their run ended with a 1–1 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the first leg of the quarter-finals.^[17]

Consecutive wins

Bayern Munich (2012–13, 2013–14) and Real Madrid (2013–14, 2014–15) hold the record of ten consecutive wins in the Champions League.

The run continued in the other three knockout matches and the final of the 2012–13 season. The run continued in the first five group stage matches of the 2013–14 season, but ended with the sixth in a 2–3 home defeat against Manchester City on 10 December 2013. Real Madrid's run started on 23 April 2014 in the 1–0 win against Bayern Munich in the first leg of semi-final of the 2013–14 season after losing 2–0 against Borussia Dortmund two weeks earlier in the second leg of the quarter-final. The run continued in the other leg of the semi-final, the final against Atlético Madrid, the six group stage matches of the 2014–15 season, and the first leg of round of 16 of the 2014–15 season, against Schalke 04.

Longest home undefeated run

The record for the longest unbeaten run at home stands at 31 games and is held by Bayern Munich. The run began with a 0–0 draw against Borussia Dortmund in 1997–98 and finished with a 2–1 win against Real Madrid in the first leg of the 2001–02 quarter-finals. The 31 game unbeaten run ended with a 2–3 loss to Deportivo La Coruña in the first group stage in 2002–03.

Longest away undefeated run

The record for the longest away unbeaten run stands at 16 games and is held by Manchester United. The run began with a 1–0 win against Sporting CP in the 2007–08 group stage. It lasted until the 3–2 win against Milan at the San Siro in the first leg of the first knockout stage of 2009–10. The run ended with a 1–2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the 2009–10 quarter-finals. During this run, Manchester United were beaten 2–0 by Barcelona in the 2009 final. This game, however, was at a neutral venue and as such is not classified as an away game.

The 25 game unbeaten streak ended with a 0–2 loss to Barcelona in the 2009 final.

This broke the previous record of 20 consecutive games unbeaten by Ajax, which began with a 0–0 home draw against Porto in the second leg of the first round in 1985–86, and after an eight-year hiatus from the competition resumed through a 2–0 home win against Milan in their opening group stage game in 1994–95 and ended with a 0–1 home loss to Panathinaikos in the first leg of the semi-final in 1995–96.

The third longest run is 19 by Bayern Munich, which began with a 1–0 home win against Arsenal on matchday six of the second group stage in 2000–01, and ended with a 0–2 away loss to Real Madrid in the second leg of the quarter-finals in 2001–02.
