List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners

The European Champion Clubs' Cup which the winner receives

The UEFA Champions League is a seasonal association football competition established in 1955.[1] The UEFA Champions League is open to the league champions of all UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) member associations (except Liechtenstein, which has no league competition), as well as to the clubs finishing from second to fourth position in the strongest leagues.[2] Prior to the 1992–93 season, the tournament was named the European Cup.[1] Originally, only the champions of their respective national league and the previous winners of the competition were allowed to participate. However, this was changed in 1997 to allow the runners-up of the stronger leagues to compete as well.[3] Previous winners of the competition did not automatically qualify until the rules were changed in 2005 to allow title holders, Liverpool, to enter the competition.[4] Real Madrid won the inaugural competition, beating Stade de Reims in the 1956 final.

If a team wins the UEFA Champions League three times in a row, or five times overall, they are allowed to keep the European Champion Clubs' Cup and a new one is commissioned.[5] As of 2008, five teams have earned this privilege; Real Madrid, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Milan and Liverpool.[6]

Real Madrid hold the record for the most victories, winning the competition nine times since its inception. They have also won the competition the most times in a row, winning it five times from 1956 to 1960. Benfica and Juventus have been runners-up the most times, with both teams losing the final five times. Italy and Spain have provided the most champions, with twelve wins between two and three clubs respectively.[7] England have produced eleven winners from four clubs, with English teams being banned from the competition for five years following the Heysel disaster in 1985.[8] The current champions are Internazionale who beat Bayern Munich 2–0 in the 2010 final at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Notes

  1. ↑ Bayern Munich won 4–0 in a replay[11]
  2. ↑ Liverpool won 4–2 in a penalty shootout[12]
  3. ↑ Steaua Bucureşti won 2–0 in a penalty shootout[13]
  4. ↑ PSV Eindhoven won 6–5 in a penalty shootout[14]
  5. ↑ Red Star Belgrade won 5–3 in a penalty shootout[15]
  6. ↑ Juventus won 4–2 in a penalty shootout[16]
  7. ↑ Bayern Munich won 5–4 in a penalty shootout[17]
  8. ↑ Milan won 3–2 in a penalty shootout[18]
  9. ↑ Liverpool won 3–2 in a penalty shootout[19]
  10. ↑ Manchester United won 6–5 in a penalty shootout[20]
  11. ↑ 1973–74 Serie A champions Lazio were disqualified from the 1974–75 European Cup.[21]
  12. ↑ 1954–55 English First Division champions Chelsea were barred entry in the 1955–56 European Cup by The Football League.[22] Due to the Heysel disaster all English clubs were barred entry to the European Cup from the 1985–86 season to the 1989–90 season and a further ban for Liverpool meant they could not compete 1990–91 season.[23] The 1957–58 season is included, however, after winning their quarter-final match, the Munich air disaster killed eight Manchester United players.[24]
  13. ↑ For the purposes of this table there is no distinction made between West Germany and the post reunification Germany, although technically the achievements of all the clubs currently listed apply to West Germany before and including the 1991–92 season and not to Germany. This means that the first three wins of Bayern Munich and the first two runners-up places, the one and only win and runner-up place for Hamburg, and the one and only runners-up place each for Borussia Mönchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt should all technically fall under West Germany, who were entrants in 37 competitions from the 1955–56 season to the 1991–92 seasons inclusive, before entrants from the reunified Germany entered the competition for the first time.
  14. ↑ 1989–90 Eredivisie champions Ajax were disqualified from the 1990–91 European Cup.[25]
  15. ↑ Although AS Monaco are a self-described Monegasque football club, they qualified through the French leagues, thus the French flag is displayed.[26]
  16. ↑ Romanian clubs did not enter the inaugural competition.
  17. ↑ Although both Red Star Belgrade and Partizan now represent Serbia, both clubs achieved their respective distinctions in this table as clubs competing in the Yugoslav First League, and thus represented the SFR Yugoslavia. Clubs competing in the Yugoslav First League were eligible entrants from the 1955–56 season to the 1991–92 seasons inclusive, before the dissolution of the SFR Yugoslavia during the 1991–92 season negated any further participation from Yugoslav First League teams by definition.
  18. ↑ No Greek clubs entered the competition from the 1955–56 season to the 1957–58 season inclusive, and Olympiacos withdrew from the 1958–59 competition for political reasons.[27]
