Biggest wins

The preliminary rounds constitute the first two rounds of the old European Cup or the qualifying and first group stages of the various Champions League formats

Biggest two leg win


Not winning the domestic league

  • Nottingham Forest are 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 relegated to the third tier of their national league.
  • Manchester United's treble-winners of 1998/99 were the first winners of the tournament to have won neither their domestic title nor the European Cup/Champions League the previous season.

Comebacks

Defence

  • Arsenal FC broke the record for the most consecutive clean sheets in 2006, with ten. They went without conceding a goal for 995 minutes between March 2005 and May 2006.

Successful defending

  • AC Milan are the last team to successfully defend the trophy, winning it in both 1989 and 1990.

Nationalities

  • Celtic have the distinction of being the first UK based team to win the European Cup (1967) and one of only three teams to win the Cup with a team containing players all born in the same country (Scotland). The 1965-66 Real Madrid winning side's players were all born in Spain and Steaua Bucuresti won the Cup using only Romanian players; Celtic, however, won the competition with all of their players having been born within the same civic radius of 15km. 1967 was also the last year that an authentic cup was presented for the club to keep. Since then, winners are given a replica after returning the original cup for presentation to the winner next season. Although SL Benfica managed to win the competition twice in a row only with Portuguese players, some of them had been born in African Portuguese Colonies then part of Portugal (as Overseas Provinces); all of the African born Portuguese played for the Portuguese national team (one of them being Eusébio).

Countries

Cities

  • The city of Milan, Italy, is the only one that won the Champions Cup with two different teams: Inter & Milan (the two clubs have won 9 cups in total).
  • Athens, Greece is the only city, which has been represented with three teams, Olympiacos FC, Panathinaikos FC and AEK Athens FC, in one year.
  • Only four derbies between teams of the same city have ever been played:
  • The 2002-03 semi-final between bitter city rivals A.C. Milan and Internazionale was the first time both games of a two-legged tie were played in the same stadium (San Siro). The teams share the stadium as their home venue. A.C. Milan won by the 'away goals' rule. The teams also played each other in the same stadium in the 2004-05 quarter-final. The Milan teams had no 'home' + 'away' legs, they both had home advantage in a certain respect.

Specific group stage records

Four teams have won all their games in a group stage (none of whom went on to win the title that year — although AC Milan got closest by finishing runners-up); these are:

6 losses

Goalscoring


Red Cards

Only two players have ever been sent off in a Champions League Final. Jens Lehmann (Arsenal) in the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final against FC Barcelona - sent off in the 18th minute for a professional foul after bringing down Samuel Eto'o - and Didier Drogba (Chelsea F.C.) in the 2008 Champions League Final - sent off in the 117th minute for slapping Manchester United player Nemanja Vidic.

Both players' teams lost their respective finals.

Most matches in one season

  • Since the addition of a third qualifying round in 1999/2000, Liverpool Football Club and FC Artmedia Bratislava were the first two teams to negotiate all three rounds of qualification and reach the Champions League group phase, both doing so in 2005-06. Liverpool went on to become the first team in the history of the competition to reach the knockout phase from the first qualifying round.



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 FC Barcelona 1-0 on the 29th April 2008, a streak that may be extended as they have qualified for the 2008-09 competition.

Consecutive Wins

FC Barcelona holds the record of 11 consecutive wins (including third qualifying round) in the Champions League (2002-03)

The biggest superiority of the first team over the second one
