=== Overall team records ===
In this ranking two points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in [[extra time (association football)|extra time]] are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by [[penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shoot-outs]] are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. Only the top 25 are listed (includes qualifying rounds).<ref name="uefa records">{{cite web|url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0282-18407aecf6fe-cb82de053b1e-1000/ucl_202223_all-time_md13.pdf|title=UEFA Champions League statistics 2022–23 handbook – All-time records 1955–2023|website=UEFA.com|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|page=1|access-date=15 August 2023|archive-date=10 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810182359/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/EuroExperience/competitions/Publications/02/28/56/90/2285690_DOWNLOAD.pdf#page=2|url-status=live}}</ref>

''See also [[Treble (association football)]] and [[List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season]].''
* Although not an officially recognised achievement, eight 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 (association football)|continental treble]]":
** [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] in 1967, having won the [[1966–67 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1966–67 Scottish First Division|Scottish First Division]], and the [[1966–67 Scottish Cup|Scottish Cup]]
** [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in 1972 won the [[1971–72 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1971–72 Eredivisie|Eredivisie]], and the [[1971–72 KNVB Cup|KNVB Cup]]
** [[PSV Eindhoven]] in 1988 did likewise, having won the [[1987–88 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1987–88 Eredivisie|Eredivisie]], and the [[1987–88 KNVB Cup|KNVB Cup]]
** [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in 1999, having won the [[1998–99 FA Premier League|Premier League]], the [[1998–99 FA Cup|FA Cup]], and the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] in 2009, which included [[2008–09 La Liga|La Liga]], the [[2008–09 Copa del Rey|Copa del Rey]], and the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[Inter Milan]] in 2010, which included [[2009–10 Serie A|Serie A]], the [[2009–10 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]], and the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2013, which included [[2012–13 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]], the [[2012–13 DFB-Pokal|DFB-Pokal]], and the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] in 2015 won the treble for the second time, having won [[2014–15 La Liga|La Liga]], the [[2014–15 Copa del Rey|Copa del Rey]], and the [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2020 became the second club to win multiple trebles, having won the [[2019–20 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]], the [[2019–20 DFB-Pokal|DFB-Pokal]], and the [[2019–20 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] in 2023, which included the [[2022–23 Premier League|Premier League]], the [[2022–23 FA Cup|FA Cup]], and the [[2022–23 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
*** [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in 1984 won the [[1983–84 Football League First Division#First Division|English First Division]] and the [[1983–84 European Cup|European Cup]]. However, this 'treble' included the [[1983–84 Football League Cup|Football League Cup]] rather than the [[1983–84 FA Cup|FA Cup]].
*** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2001 won the [[2000–01 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] and the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]. However, this 'treble' included the [[2000 DFB-Ligapokal|DFB-Ligapokal]] rather than the [[2000–01 DFB-Pokal|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 F.C.|Celtic]] also won their secondary domestic cup competition, the [[Scottish League Cup]], as well as the regional [[Glasgow Cup]], in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quintuple"), thus making their achievement unique in this respect to every other club.
** [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] also won the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]] (the predecessor of the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] and the de facto premier global club cup) and the [[1972 European Super Cup|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 F.C.|Manchester United]] won the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]] the following season, winning a quadruple of cups.
** [[FC Barcelona|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.
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] won the [[2012 DFL-Supercup|DFL-Supercup]] in the start of the 2012–13 season, the [[2013 UEFA Super Cup|European Super Cup]] in 2013 and the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] in the same year winning a quintuple of cups.
** [[Inter Milan]] completed the quintuple by winning [[Serie A]], the [[Coppa Italia]], the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], the [[FIFA Club World Cup]], and the [[Supercoppa Italiana]].
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] completed their quintuple in 2015 by lifting [[2014–15 La Liga|La Liga]], the [[2014–15 Copa del Rey|Copa del Rey]], the [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], the [[2015 UEFA Super Cup|UEFA Super Cup]], and the [[2015 FIFA Club World Cup|Club World Cup]].
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] also won the [[UEFA Super Cup|European Super Cup]] and the [[DFL-Supercup]] in 2020, and the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] in February 2021 to become the second sextuple winning club after Barcelona.<ref name=":0" />

* The first [[coin flipping|coin toss]] occurred in [[1957–58 European Cup|1957–58]], with [[FC Erzgebirge Aue|Wismut Karl Marx Stadt]] beating [[Gwardia Warszawa|Gwardia Warsaw]] after their play-off was abandoned after 100 minutes due to floodlight power failure.
* [[FC Zürich|Zürich]] won a coin toss against [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] in [[1963–64 European Cup|1963–64]] after their play-off match ended 2–2. This was the first time this rule was used for a draw played to completion.
* The last season to use a coin toss was [[1969–70 European Cup|1969–70]], with [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] beating [[FC Spartak Trnava|Spartak Trnava]] and [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] beating [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]], both in the second round. Celtic later progressed to the final.
* A total of seven European Cup ties were decided by a coin toss, with Galatasaray being the only team to be involved twice, winning one and losing one.

* In [[2002–03 UEFA Champions League|2002–03]], [[AC Milan|Milan]] and [[Inter Milan|Inter]] met in the semi-finals. Sharing the same stadium ([[San Siro]]), they drew 0–0 in the first leg and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and thus became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium.
* The quarter-final of the [[2020–21 UEFA Champions League|2020–21]] season between previous year's finalists Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain was the last to be decided by the away goals rule before its abolition from the following season.
* Milan, [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] and [[FC Porto|Porto]] are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]]:
** In the semi-finals against [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in [[1989–90 European Cup|1989–90]], Milan won 1–0 at home and were 0–1 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals.
** In the round of 16 against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League|2014–15]], Paris Saint-Germain drew 1–1 both home and away. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time period played in [[London]], giving Paris Saint-Germain the victory on away goals.
** In the round of 16 against [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] in 2020–21 (the last season the away goals rule was used), Porto won 2–1 at home and were 1–2 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time period played in [[Turin]], giving Porto the victory on away goals.

Gladbach's [[Klaus-Dieter Sieloff]] was the first player to score from a penalty kick, while Everton's [[Joe Royle]] was the first to miss.

* The competition format was changed in [[1997–98 UEFA Champions League|1997–98]] to allow teams that were not champions of their domestic league nor reigning title holders to compete in the tournament.

** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] on five attempts: lost to [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] in the second round in [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|1992–93]], to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in the round of 16 in [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07]], to [[Inter Milan]] in the semi-finals in [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|2009–10]], to Chelsea in the semi-finals in [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|2011–12]], and to [[Atlético Madrid]] in the quarter-finals in [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League|2015–16]]

** [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13]]
* [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] were denied the opportunity to defend their title in [[1993–94 UEFA Champions League|1993–94]], following their punishment due to the [[French football bribery scandal]].

* [[Inter Milan]]'s [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|2009–10]] triumph came 45 years after winning their previous title ([[1964–65 European Cup|1964–65]]). This was the longest time any Champions League winner had gone since previously winning the tournament.

* [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] is the only team that has ever played seven matches in the group stage (instead of the usual six). After Panathinaikos lost 1–0 away to [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] on matchday one of the [[1995–96 UEFA Champions League group stage|1995–96 group stage]], the Ukrainian team was expelled from the competition by UEFA following Spanish referee [[Antonio Jesús López Nieto]] reporting he received a bribe attempt from the side. To replace Dynamo Kyiv in the group stage, UEFA promoted their qualifying round rivals [[AaB Fodbold|Aalborg BK]], who were allowed to play a replacement fixture against Panathinaikos in between matchdays three and four.

=== Overall team records ===
In this ranking two points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in [[extra time (association football)|extra time]] are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by [[penalty shootout (association football)|penalty shoot-outs]] are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. Only the top 25 are listed (includes qualifying rounds).<ref name="uefa records">{{cite web|url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0282-18407aecf6fe-cb82de053b1e-1000/ucl_202223_all-time_md13.pdf|title=UEFA Champions League statistics 2022–23 handbook – All-time records 1955–2023|website=UEFA.com|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|page=1|access-date=15 August 2023|archive-date=10 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810182359/https://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/EuroExperience/competitions/Publications/02/28/56/90/2285690_DOWNLOAD.pdf#page=2|url-status=live}}</ref>

''See also [[Treble (association football)]] and [[List of association football teams to have won four or more trophies in one season]].''
* Although not an officially recognised achievement, eight 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 (association football)|continental treble]]":
** [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] in 1967, having won the [[1966–67 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1966–67 Scottish First Division|Scottish First Division]], and the [[1966–67 Scottish Cup|Scottish Cup]]
** [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] in 1972 won the [[1971–72 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1971–72 Eredivisie|Eredivisie]], and the [[1971–72 KNVB Cup|KNVB Cup]]
** [[PSV Eindhoven]] in 1988 did likewise, having won the [[1987–88 European Cup|European Cup]], the [[1987–88 Eredivisie|Eredivisie]], and the [[1987–88 KNVB Cup|KNVB Cup]]
** [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in 1999, having won the [[1998–99 FA Premier League|Premier League]], the [[1998–99 FA Cup|FA Cup]], and the [[1998–99 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] in 2009, which included [[2008–09 La Liga|La Liga]], the [[2008–09 Copa del Rey|Copa del Rey]], and the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[Inter Milan]] in 2010, which included [[2009–10 Serie A|Serie A]], the [[2009–10 Coppa Italia|Coppa Italia]], and the [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2013, which included [[2012–13 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]], the [[2012–13 DFB-Pokal|DFB-Pokal]], and the [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]

** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2020 became the second club to win multiple trebles, having won the [[2019–20 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]], the [[2019–20 DFB-Pokal|DFB-Pokal]], and the [[2019–20 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
** [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] in 2023, which included the [[2022–23 Premier League|Premier League]], the [[2022–23 FA Cup|FA Cup]], and the [[2022–23 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]
*** [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in 1984 won the [[1983–84 Football League First Division#First Division|English First Division]] and the [[1983–84 European Cup|European Cup]]. However, this 'treble' included the [[1983–84 Football League Cup|Football League Cup]] rather than the [[1983–84 FA Cup|FA Cup]].
*** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] in 2001 won the [[2000–01 Bundesliga|Bundesliga]] and the [[2000–01 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]. However, this 'treble' included the [[2000 DFB-Ligapokal|DFB-Ligapokal]] rather than the [[2000–01 DFB-Pokal|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 F.C.|Celtic]] also won their secondary domestic cup competition, the [[Scottish League Cup]], as well as the regional [[Glasgow Cup]], in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quintuple"), thus making their achievement unique in this respect to every other club.
** [[AFC Ajax|Ajax]] also won the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]] (the predecessor of the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] and the de facto premier global club cup) and the [[1972 European Super Cup|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 F.C.|Manchester United]] won the [[Intercontinental Cup (football)|Intercontinental Cup]] the following season, winning a quadruple of cups.
** [[FC Barcelona|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.
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] won the [[2012 DFL-Supercup|DFL-Supercup]] in the start of the 2012–13 season, the [[2013 UEFA Super Cup|European Super Cup]] in 2013 and the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] in the same year winning a quintuple of cups.
** [[Inter Milan]] completed the quintuple by winning [[Serie A]], the [[Coppa Italia]], the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], the [[FIFA Club World Cup]], and the [[Supercoppa Italiana]].
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] completed their quintuple in 2015 by lifting [[2014–15 La Liga|La Liga]], the [[2014–15 Copa del Rey|Copa del Rey]], the [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], the [[2015 UEFA Super Cup|UEFA Super Cup]], and the [[2015 FIFA Club World Cup|Club World Cup]].
** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] also won the [[UEFA Super Cup|European Super Cup]] and the [[DFL-Supercup]] in 2020, and the [[FIFA Club World Cup]] in February 2021 to become the second sextuple winning club after Barcelona.<ref name=":0" />

* The first [[coin flipping|coin toss]] occurred in [[1957–58 European Cup|1957–58]], with [[FC Erzgebirge Aue|Wismut Karl Marx Stadt]] beating [[Gwardia Warszawa|Gwardia Warsaw]] after their play-off was abandoned after 100 minutes due to floodlight power failure.
* [[FC Zürich|Zürich]] won a coin toss against [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] in [[1963–64 European Cup|1963–64]] after their play-off match ended 2–2. This was the first time this rule was used for a draw played to completion.
* The last season to use a coin toss was [[1969–70 European Cup|1969–70]], with [[Galatasaray S.K. (football)|Galatasaray]] beating [[FC Spartak Trnava|Spartak Trnava]] and [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] beating [[S.L. Benfica|Benfica]], both in the second round. Celtic later progressed to the final.

Sharing the same stadium ([[San Siro]]), they drew 0–0 in the first leg and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and thus became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium.
* The quarter-final of the [[2020–21 UEFA Champions League|2020–21]] season between previous year's finalists Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain was the last to be decided by the away goals rule before its abolition from the following season.
* Milan, [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.|Paris Saint-Germain]] and [[FC Porto|Porto]] are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after [[Overtime (sports)#Association football|extra time]]:

* A total of 68 tournaments have been played: 37 in the European Cup era ([[1955–56 European Cup|1955–56]] to [[1991–92 European Cup|1991–92]]) and 31 in the Champions League era ([[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|1992–93]] to [[2022–23 UEFA Champions League|2022–23]]). 15 of the 67 attempts to defend the trophy (22.39%) have been successful, split between eight teams. These are:
** [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] on six attempts out of fourteen ([[1956–57 European Cup|1956–57]], [[1957–58 European Cup|1957–58]], [[1958–59 European Cup|1958–59]], [[1959–60 European Cup|1959–60]], [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League|2016–17]], [[2017–18 UEFA Champions League|2017–18]])

** Of the 36 attempts in European Cup era: 13 successful (36.1%)
** Of the 31 attempts in the Champions League era: 2 successful (6.45%)
* Only one team has managed to defend the trophy in the Champions League era: [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] (twice), who won in [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League|2015–16]], [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League|2016–17]] and [[2017–18 UEFA Champions League|2017–18]].

* Of the 23 teams that have won the trophy, 15 have never defended it. Only five of these have won the trophy more than once, and so have had more than one attempt to do so. These are:
** [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] on five attempts: lost to [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] in the second round in [[1992–93 UEFA Champions League|1992–93]], to [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] in the round of 16 in [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07]], to [[Inter Milan]] in the semi-finals in [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|2009–10]], to Chelsea in the semi-finals in [[2011–12 UEFA Champions League|2011–12]], and to [[Atlético Madrid]] in the quarter-finals in [[2015–16 UEFA Champions League|2015–16]]

** [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] on two attempts: finished behind [[Juventus F.C.|Juventus]] and [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]] in the group stage in [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13]], and lost to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] in the quarter-finals in [[2021–22 UEFA Champions League|2021–22]]
* During the Champions League era, only one title holder has failed to qualify from the group stage:
** [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] in [[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13]]
* [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] were denied the opportunity to defend their title in [[1993–94 UEFA Champions League|1993–94]], following their punishment due to the [[French football bribery scandal]].

** [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] ([[2012–13 UEFA Champions League|2012–13]])
** [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] ([[2018–19 UEFA Champions League|2018–19]])
* [[Inter Milan]]'s [[2009–10 UEFA Champions League|2009–10]] triumph came 45 years after winning their previous title ([[1964–65 European Cup|1964–65]]). This was the longest time any Champions League winner had gone since previously winning the tournament.

* [[Panathinaikos F.C.|Panathinaikos]] is the only team that has ever played seven matches in the group stage (instead of the usual six). After Panathinaikos lost 1–0 away to [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] on matchday one of the [[1995–96 UEFA Champions League group stage|1995–96 group stage]], the Ukrainian team was expelled from the competition by UEFA following Spanish referee [[Antonio Jesús López Nieto]] reporting he received a bribe attempt from the side. To replace Dynamo Kyiv in the group stage, UEFA promoted their qualifying round rivals [[AaB Fodbold|Aalborg BK]], who were allowed to play a replacement fixture against Panathinaikos in between matchdays three and four. Although this took the total number of group matches played by Panathinaikos to seven, their result against Dynamo Kyiv was annulled.
