  1. ^ 1973–74 Serie A champions Lazio were disqualified from the 1974–75 season.[2]
  2. ^ 1954–55 English First Division champions Chelsea were barred entry in the 1955–56 season by The Football League.[3] 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 inclusive and a further ban for Liverpool meant they could not compete in the 1990–91 season.[4] The 1957–58 season is included in the count despite the Munich air disaster.[5]
  3. ^ For the purposes of this table there is no distinction made between West Germany and post reunification Germany.
  4. ^ 1989–90 Eredivisie champions Ajax were disqualified from the 1990–91 season.[6]
  5. ^ Although Monaco are a self-described Monegasque football club, they qualify through the French leagues and thus the French flag is displayed.[7]
  6. ^ Romanian clubs did not enter the inaugural competition.
  7. ^ 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 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 SFR Yugoslavia during the 1991–92 season negated any further participation from Yugoslav First League teams by definition.
  8. ^ No Greek clubs entered the competition from the 1955–56 season to the 1957–58 season inclusive, and Olympiacos withdrew from the 1958–59 season for political reasons.[8]

Presidents records

Angelo Moratti and Massimo Moratti are the first father and son to have won the competition during the presidency of the same team, F.C. Internazionale Milano. This team won the Champions League in different periods with these presidents, in 1963–64, 1964–65 and 2009–10.

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

Although not an officially recognized achievement, only six clubs have ever 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":

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

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. Furthemore, 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:

Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich 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.[9]

Defending the trophy

A total of 56 tournaments have been played, 37 in the European Cup era (1955–56 to 1991–92) and 19 in the Champions League era (1992–93 to 2010–11). Only 13 of the 55 attempts to defend the trophy (23,6%) have been successful, split between 8 teams. These are:

The teams closest to defending the trophy in the Champions League era, all making it to the final:

Of the 21 teams that have won the trophy, 13 have never defended it. Only four of these have won the trophy more than once, and so have had more than one attempt to do so. These are:

Only one club has drawn all their games in a group stage:

6 losses

In the history of the Champions League, the following clubs have lost all 6 group stage matches:

Two goals in each match

On 7 December 2010, Tottenham Hotspur played 3–3 against Twente and became the first team to score at least two goals in each match of the group stage. However, this record was equalled by Bayern Munich on the very next day.

Barcelona repeated the record in the 2011–12 season.

Advancing past the group stage

Real Madrid hold the record of the most consecutive seasons in advancing past the group stage with 15 from 1997–98 to 2011–12. The first seven seasons (1997–98 to 2003–04) they qualified for at least the quarterfinal each year, winning the tournament three times. After this followed six consecutive seasons (2004–05 to 2009–10) losing the first round (round of 16) after the group stage.

The biggest disparity between a group winner and runner-up

The biggest points difference between the first- and second-placed teams in a Champions League group phase is 11 points, achieved by two teams:

Most points achieved, yet knocked out

Fewest points achieved, yet advanced

Knocked out on tiebreakers

Several teams have been knocked out on a tiebreaker, most on the head-to-head criteria:

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:

Qualifying from Qualification Round One

Since the addition of a third qualifying round in 1999–2000, four teams have negotiated all three rounds of qualification and reached the Champions League group phase:

Liverpool went on to become the first team in the history of the competition to reach the knockout phase from the first qualifying round.

Winning through Qualification

Four teams have managed to win the tournament from the third qualification round:

Consecutive goalscoring

Barcelona won 4-0 against BATE Borisov on 6 December 2011. This was their 27th consecutive game scoring at least one goal, beating Bayern Munichs record of 22 games which ended against Dynamo Kyiv on 22 March 2000.

Barcelonas run started with a 2-0 win against Internazionale on matchday five of the group stage of the 2009–10 season, continued with the last group stage match and six knockout matches this season, all 13 (six group stage and seven knockout) matches in 2010–11, and (so far) all six group stage matches in 2011-12.

Consecutive home wins

Manchester United hold the record of consecutive home wins in the Champions League. They have 12 consecutive home wins which was achieved when they defeated Barcelona 1–0 on 29 April 2008. This run was ended with a 0–0 draw against Villarreal on 17 September 2008.

Consecutive wins

Barcelona hold the record of 11 consecutive wins (including third qualifying round) in the Champions League (2002–03). Excluding the two wins in the third qualifying round, Barcelona would still hold the record with nine consecutive wins.

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 quarter finals 2001–02. 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 Clube de Portugal in the 2007–08 group stage. It lasted until the 3–2 win against Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza in the first leg of the first knockout stage 2009–10. The run ended with a 1–2 defeat to Bayern in the first leg of the quarter final 2009–10. 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.

Longest undefeated run

The record for the longest unbeaten run stands at 25 games and is held by Manchester United. It began with a 1–0 away win against Sporting Clube de Portugal in their opening group stage game in 2007–08 and finished with a 3–1 away win against Arsenal in the second leg of the semi-final in 2008–09. 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 FC 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.

Disciplinary

Only two players have ever been sent off in a Champions League Final: Jens Lehmann (Arsenal) in the 2006 Final against Barcelona (sent off by Terje Hauge in the 18th minute after bringing down Samuel Eto'o); and Didier Drogba (Chelsea) in the 2008 Champions League Final (sent off by Ľuboš Micheľ in the 117th minute for slapping Manchester United player Nemanja Vidić). Both players' teams lost their respective finals.

Patrick Vieira, Edgar Davids, and Didier Drogba jointly hold the record for the most red cards in the Champions League. They have each been sent off three times.

Patrick Vieira is also the only player to have been sent off for three different teams in the Champions League (Arsenal, Juventus, and Internazionale).

Paul Scholes holds the record for the most yellow cards in the Champions League. He has received a total of 32 yellow cards.[21]
