Récords generales del equipo
En esta clasificación, se otorgan dos puntos por victoria, uno por empate y cero por derrota. Siguiendo la convención estadística del fútbol, los partidos decididos en la prórroga se cuentan como victorias y derrotas, mientras que los partidos decididos en la tanda de penaltis se cuentan como empates. Los equipos se clasifican por puntos totales, luego por diferencia de goles y luego por goles marcados. Solo se enumeran los veinticinco primeros (incluye las rondas de clasificación). [2]
A partir del 2 de octubre de 2024
Número de clubes participantes en la era de la Liga de Campeones (desde 1992 hasta la actualidad)
Un total de 155 clubes de 34 asociaciones nacionales han jugado o se han clasificado para la fase de grupos de la Liga de Campeones. La temporada en negrita representa a los equipos clasificados para la fase eliminatoria de esa temporada. Entre 1999-2000 y 2002-03 , la clasificación se considera a partir de la segunda fase de grupos. A partir de la temporada 2024-25 , con la introducción de una fase de liga, se considerarán clasificados los ocho primeros, así como los ocho ganadores de los play-offs.
Participantes de la fase de grupos de la Copa de Europa (solo se jugó una temporada en este formato)
La Sampdoria es el único equipo que ha jugado la fase de grupos de la Copa de Europa 1991-92, pero no ha jugado la fase de grupos de la Liga de Campeones.
La ciudad que más veces ha acogido la final es Londres, con ocho de ellas, cinco en el estadio original de Wembley y tres en el nuevo . París ocupa el segundo puesto, con seis finales.
Los países que han acogido más finales son Italia e Inglaterra, con nueve cada uno: Milán y Roma cuatro veces cada uno y Bari una vez para Italia; Londres ocho veces y Manchester una para Inglaterra. España (Madrid cinco veces, Barcelona dos veces y Sevilla una) y Alemania (Múnich cuatro veces, Stuttgart dos veces, Berlín y Gelsenkirchen una cada uno) ocupan el segundo lugar con ocho cada uno.
El estadio original de Wembley ostenta el récord de ser el estadio que más finales ha albergado, con cinco ocasiones ( 1963 , 1968 , 1971 , 1978 y 1992 ). El Santiago Bernabéu , el estadio de Heysel , el San Siro y el Estadio Olímpico ocupan el segundo puesto con cuatro ocasiones cada uno.
El equipo que ha ganado la Copa de Europa con menos partidos ganados es el PSV Eindhoven ( 1987-88 ), logrando solo tres victorias en todo el torneo, ninguna de ellas a partir de cuartos de final.
El equipo que ha ganado la Liga de Campeones con menos partidos ganados es el Manchester United ( 1998-99 ), con cinco victorias.
El Real Madrid es el único club que ha sido capaz de ganar la final más de dos veces con un porcentaje de éxito del 75% o más. Sólo ha perdido tres finales de dieciocho, con un porcentaje de victorias del 83%.

La participación del Eintracht Frankfurt en la temporada 2022-23 se produjo 63 años después de su última aparición ( 1959-60 ). Este fue el período más largo que cualquier equipo había pasado desde su última aparición en el torneo.
Aunque no es un logro reconocido oficialmente, ocho clubes han logrado la distinción de ganar la Liga de Campeones o la Copa de Europa, su campeonato nacional y su principal competición de copa nacional en la misma temporada, conocido coloquialmente como el " triple continental ":
Además de este triplete, varios de estos clubes ganaron otras copas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estas copas se ganaron técnicamente al año siguiente, tras la conclusión de las ligas nacionales o internacionales regulares del año anterior. Además, es posible que varias copas nacionales no existieran en el momento en que los clubes de otras naciones ganaron copas equivalentes, y en algunos casos siguen existiendo. Además, hay mucha variación en la consideración con la que se toman varias copas tanto a lo largo del tiempo como entre naciones. Independientemente de ello, los siguientes clubes ganaron competiciones además del triplete mencionado anteriormente:
El Celtic también ganó su segunda competición de copa nacional, la Copa de la Liga Escocesa , en la temporada 1966-67 y es el único club europeo históricamente capaz de lograr cuatro títulos importantes en una temporada (Liga de Campeones de la UEFA, liga nacional superior, la principal competición de copa nacional y el segundo campeonato de copa nacional; esto no incluye las competiciones de la temporada anterior, por ejemplo; Supercopas), lo que hace que su logro sea único en este sentido para cualquier otro club. Además, también lograron ganar la Copa de Glasgow (una competición regional no oficial) a la que a veces se hace referencia coloquialmente como parte de "la quíntuple".
El Ajax también ganó la Copa Intercontinental (la predecesora de la Copa Mundial de Clubes de la FIFA y la principal copa mundial de clubes de facto) y la Supercopa inaugural de la UEFA (y técnicamente no oficial) la temporada siguiente, formando parte de un quíntuple de éxitos en la Copa; por lo tanto, ganó todas las copas disponibles para ellos.
El Benfica ostenta el récord general de victorias totales en la competición. Venció al Stade Dudelange por 18-0 (8-0 a domicilio, 10-0 en casa) en la ronda preliminar de 1965-66 . [10]
En cuanto a la fase de grupos, el récord pertenece al Shakhtar Donetsk , que venció al BATE Borisov por 12-0 (7-0 fuera, 5-0 en casa) en 2014-15 . Incluyendo las rondas preliminares, el HJK tiene el récord de la era de la Liga de Campeones, venciendo al Bangor City por 13-0 (3-0 fuera, 10-0 en casa) en 2011-12 .
El Real Madrid ostenta el récord de mayor goleada en una eliminatoria de cuartos de final, al vencer al Sevilla por 10-2 (8-0 en casa, 2-2 fuera) en 1957-58 . El Bayern de Múnich y el Real Madrid comparten el récord de mayor goleada desde el cambio de marca de 1992; el Bayern venció al 1. FC Kaiserslautern por 6-0 (2-0 en casa, 4-0 fuera) en 1998-99 , y al Barcelona por 8-2 en una eliminatoria de un solo partido en 2019-20 , mientras que el Madrid logró la misma hazaña contra el APOEL en 2011-12 , ganando 8-2 (3-0 fuera, 5-2 en casa). [11]
El primer partido de play-off celebrado fue la victoria por 7-0 del Borussia Dortmund contra el Spora Luxemburgo en la ronda preliminar de 1956-57 , después de que los dos primeros partidos entre ambos equipos hubieran terminado 5-5 en el global (victoria por 4-3 para el Dortmund, victoria por 2-1 para el Spora).

Se han jugado un total de 32 play-offs. El Real Madrid es el único equipo que ha ganado tres play-offs, haciéndolo en 1956-57 , 1958-59 y 1961-62 , y avanzando a la final en las tres temporadas. El Feyenoord es el único equipo que ha ganado dos play-offs en la misma temporada, venciendo al Servette en la ronda preliminar y al Vasas en la primera ronda en 1962-63 . El Wismut Karl-Marx-Stadt y el Atlético de Madrid son los que han jugado más play-offs en total, con cuatro cada uno.
En la temporada 1963-64, el Zúrich ganó el sorteo contra el Galatasaray después de que su partido de desempate terminara 2-2. Esta fue la primera vez que se utilizó esta regla para un empate jugado hasta el final.
Un total de siete eliminatorias de la Copa de Europa se decidieron mediante un sorteo, siendo el Galatasaray el único equipo que participó dos veces, ganando una y perdiendo otra.
En la temporada 2002-03 , el Milan y el Inter se enfrentaron en semifinales. Compartiendo el mismo estadio ( San Siro ), empataron 0-0 en el partido de ida y 1-1 en el de vuelta. Sin embargo, el Milan fue designado como equipo visitante en este último partido, y así se convirtió en el único equipo que ganó por goles "fuera" sin haber marcado un gol fuera de su propio estadio.
El partido de cuartos de final de la temporada 2020-21 entre los finalistas del año anterior, el Bayern de Múnich, y el Paris Saint-Germain, fue el último en decidirse por la regla de los goles de visitante antes de su abolición a partir de la temporada siguiente.
En las semifinales contra el Bayern de Múnich en 1989-90 , el Milan ganó 1-0 en casa y perdía 0-1 después de los 90 minutos en el partido de vuelta. Ambos equipos marcaron un gol cada uno en la prórroga, lo que le dio al Milan la victoria por el valor doble de los goles de visitante.
En los octavos de final contra el Chelsea en la temporada 2014-15 , el Paris Saint-Germain empató 1-1 tanto en casa como fuera. Ambos equipos marcaron un gol cada uno en la prórroga disputada en Londres , lo que le dio la victoria al Paris Saint-Germain por el valor doble de los goles de visitante.
En los octavos de final contra la Juventus en la temporada 2020-21 (la última temporada en la que se utilizó la regla de los goles de visitante), el Porto ganó 2-1 en casa y perdía 1-2 tras los 90 minutos del partido de vuelta. Ambos equipos marcaron un gol cada uno en la prórroga disputada en Turín , lo que le dio al Porto la victoria por los goles de visitante.
Once finales se han decidido en la tanda de penaltis. El Liverpool es el único equipo que ha ganado más de una vez (1984 y 2005 ), mientras que la Juventus , el Milan , el Bayern de Múnich y el Chelsea han ganado una y perdido otra. Ningún equipo ha perdido dos veces.

El triunfo del Liverpool en la temporada 2018-19 se produjo 29 años después de su anterior título de liga nacional ( 1989-90 ).

El Bayer Leverkusen (en 2002 ) es el único club que ha disputado la final sin haber ganado nunca su liga nacional. Más tarde ganaría su primer título de liga en 2024 .

El Benfica ganó dos veces la competición (1961 y 1962) con un equipo formado íntegramente por jugadores portugueses, aunque algunos de ellos habían nacido en colonias africanas portuguesas , entonces provincias de ultramar de Portugal, pero hoy naciones independientes.
El Celtic ganó la competición en 1967 con todo su equipo nacido en un radio de 30 millas de Celtic Park , su estadio local.
El Steaua Bucarest ganó en 1986 con un equipo formado íntegramente por jugadores rumanos.

Además de Milán, Manchester y Londres, otras dos ciudades han estado representadas con dos equipos en la final:
El Madrid ha estado representado por dos clubes en diecinueve finales, con quince victorias (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024) y tres derrotas (1962, 1964, 1981) para el Real Madrid , y tres derrotas para el Atlético de Madrid (1974, 2014, 2016).

Inglaterra es la única nación con equipos de cinco ciudades que han ganado la competición:
2004-05 ( Milán ): Inter de Milán vs Milán (cuartos de final) (el partido de vuelta fue suspendido y otorgado al Milán debido a los disturbios de los fanáticos del Inter)
La eliminatoria de semifinales de la temporada 2002-03 entre el Milan y el Inter de Milán fue la primera en la que ambos partidos de una eliminatoria de ida y vuelta se jugaron en el mismo estadio ( San Siro ), ya que los equipos compartían el estadio como sede. El Milan ganó gracias a la regla de los "goles de visitante", ya que fue designado como el equipo "visitante" que marcó más goles en la eliminatoria. Los equipos también se enfrentaron en el mismo estadio en los cuartos de final de la temporada 2004-05 y en las semifinales de la temporada 2022-23. Sin embargo, en la temporada 2022-23 la regla de los goles de visitante ya no existía.
Hasta la temporada 2023-24 , nueve clubes han ganado todos sus partidos en una fase de grupos, en trece ocasiones. El Real Madrid y el Bayern de Múnich son los que más lo han hecho, en tres ocasiones, y este último es también el único club que ha conseguido dos fases de grupos consecutivas con seis victorias. Todos los siguientes equipos ganaron seis partidos en el formato anterior de la fase de grupos. Hasta ahora, ningún club ha conseguido ganar los ocho partidos desde la actualización del sistema en la temporada 2024-25 :
Barcelona , 2002-03 (primera fase de grupos) (llegó a cuartos de final)
El Real Madrid ha logrado esta hazaña tres veces: en 2011-12 , 2014-15 (llegó a semifinales en ambas ocasiones) y 2023-24 (se convirtió en el segundo equipo en ganar el torneo tras arrasar en la fase de grupos).
El Bayern de Múnich ha logrado esta hazaña tres veces: en 2019-20 (se convirtió en el primer equipo en ganar el torneo tras arrasar en la fase de grupos), 2021-22 y 2022-23 (alcanzó los cuartos de final en ambas ocasiones).
En la historia de la Liga de Campeones, los siguientes 23 clubes han perdido todos los partidos de la fase de grupos, siendo el Dinamo Zagreb el único equipo que lo ha logrado dos veces:
Košice ( 1997-98 ) terminó el Grupo B concediendo trece goles y marcando sólo dos veces, con una diferencia de goles de -11.
El Fenerbahçe ( 2001-02 , primera fase de grupos) terminó el Grupo F concediendo doce goles y marcando tres, con una diferencia de goles de -9.

Esta fue la única vez que un club perdió todos los partidos de la segunda fase de grupos. También fue la primera vez que dos clubes perdieron seis partidos de la fase de grupos en la misma temporada. El Leverkusen había llegado a la final en la temporada anterior.
Anderlecht ( 2004-05 ) terminó el Grupo G concediendo diecisiete goles y anotando cuatro, con una diferencia de goles de -13.
El Levski Sofia ( 2006-07 ) terminó el Grupo A con 17 goles en contra y solo un gol anotado, con una diferencia de goles de -16. Esta ha sido la única aparición del club en la fase de grupos hasta la fecha.

In 2012–13, Chelsea became the first title holders not to qualify from the following season's group stage.
Monaco scored the fewest goals (four) to earn eleven points in the group stage in 2014–15. Villarreal won a group with the fewest goals scored (three) in 2005–06, resulting in two wins.
Biggest disparity between group winner and runner-up
The biggest points difference between the first- and second-placed teams in a Champions League group phase is eleven points, achieved by four teams:
Barcelona, 18 points (13:4 goals, +9 GD) in 2002–03 (first group stage) (2nd Lokomotiv Moscow 7 points, 3rd Club Brugge 5 points, 4th Galatasaray 4 points). Barcelona went on to win their group in the second group stage with sixteen points, but lost to Juventus in the quarter-finals.
Casino Salzburg lost on overall goal difference to Milan in 1994–95, although Milan had been docked 2 points due to crowd trouble (2 points for a win, would have been 2 points behind with 3 points for a win)
Galatasaray and Rosenborg lost on head-to-head points to Juventus in 1998–99. Although each team had 8 points, in matches played between the three sides in question, Juventus had 6 points, Galatasaray had 5 points, and Rosenborg had 4 points (only first place team advanced directly)
Dynamo Kyiv lost on head-to-head points to Real Madrid in 1999–2000 (second group stage), despite having a better goal difference. Real Madrid went on to win the final.
Olympiacos lost on head-to-head away goals to Lyon in 2000–01 (first group stage), on head-to-head goal difference to Liverpool in 2004–05, and on head-to-head goal difference to Arsenal in 2015–16. In 2004–05, Liverpool went on to win the final.
Rangers lost on head-to-head points to Galatasaray in 2000–01 (first group stage), despite having a better goal difference
Lyon lost to Arsenal in 2000–01 (second group stage), and to Ajax in 2002–03 (first group stage), both times on head-to-head points despite having a better goal difference
Borussia Dortmund lost on overall goal difference to Boavista in 2001–02 (first group stage), with both teams winning 2–1 at home in head-to-head matches
Ajax lost on overall goal difference to Lyon in 2011–12, with both head-to-head games ending in a 0–0 draw. Lyon won their last group game against Dinamo Zagreb 7–1 (after being 0–1 down at half time) while Ajax lost 0–3 against Real Madrid. The aggregate goal difference in both games had to be at least a 7-goal swing for Lyon to advance, and Lyon successfully managed to reach 9.
Napoli lost on head-to-head goal difference to Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal in 2013–14. Although each team had 12 points and 8 points in matches played between the three sides, the goal difference in games played between the three was +1 for Borussia Dortmund, 0 for Arsenal and −1 for Napoli.
Bayer Leverkusen lost on head-to-head points to Roma in 2015–16, despite having a better goal difference
Napoli lost on overall goals scored to Liverpool in 2018–19, with both teams winning 1–0 at home in head-to-head matches. Liverpool defeated Napoli in their final group game, with Paris Saint-Germain defeating Red Star Belgrade in the other match to top the group with 11 points. With both Liverpool and Napoli tied on 9 points, having identical head-to-head results, and a goal difference of +2, Liverpool advanced by virtue of having scored more overall goals than Napoli (9 to Napoli's 7). Liverpool went on to win the final.
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 equalled the points of Paris Saint-Germain and eventual finalists Juventus and advanced on goal difference
Panathinaikos ended third in Group E in 2004–05, but would have equalled 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 equalled the points of Inter Milan and advanced on head-to-head matches
Napoli ended third in Group C in 2018–19, but would have been one point ahead of eventual winners Liverpool

After Panathinaikos lost 1–0 away to Dynamo Kyiv on matchday one of the 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, 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.
Qualifying from first qualifying round
Since the addition of a third qualifying round in the 1999–2000 season, four teams have negotiated all three rounds of qualification and reached the Champions League group phase:

Consecutive goalscoring
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain share the record of consecutive goalscoring in Champions League matches, with both sides scoring at least one goal in 34 successive games. Real Madrid's run started with a 1–1 draw in the second leg of their semi-final tie against Barcelona on 3 May 2011. This run continued into the entirety of the next two seasons, with Madrid scoring in all twelve matches of both their 2011–12 and 2012–13 Champions League campaigns. The club then scored in the first nine games of their 2013–14 campaign (six group stage games, both legs of the round of 16 and the first leg of the quarter-finals), with the run coming to an end following a 2–0 away loss against Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the quarter-finals on 8 April 2014.
Paris Saint-Germain's run started with a 1–1 group stage draw against Arsenal on 13 September 2016. This streak continued with PSG scoring at least once in all 24 matches played over the course of their 2016–17, 2017–18 and 2018–19 Champions League campaigns (including all six group stage games and both legs of the round of 16). The club then scored in all six group stage games, both legs of the round of 16, and the single-legged quarter-finals and semi-finals of the 2019–20 edition,[29] with their run ending in the final following a 0–1 defeat to Bayern Munich on 23 August 2020.[30]

Consecutive away wins
The most consecutive away wins in the Champions League (not including matches played at neutral venues) is seven, achieved on two occasions. Ajax were the first side to reach this number; their run began with a 2–0 group stage win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on 22 November 1995. They then defeated Borussia Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion in the quarter-finals and Panathinaikos at the Spyridon Louis in the semi-finals. Ajax's run continued the following season, winning all three away group stage matches, against Auxerre, Rangers and Grasshopper. Their record seventh win came on 19 March 1997, after defeating Atlético Madrid 3–2 at the Vicente Calderón after extra time in the quarter-finals. The streak would end in the following round, as Ajax lost 4–1 to Juventus in the semi-finals at the Stadio delle Alpi on 23 April 1997.
Bayern Munich would go on to equal this record nearly two decades later; their run began with a 3–1 round of 16 victory against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on 19 February 2013, and continued with wins against Juventus at the Juventus Stadium in the quarter-finals and Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the semi-finals. The streak continued the following season, with group stage away wins over Manchester City, Viktoria Plzeň and CSKA Moscow. The record equaling seventh win was achieved when Bayern again defeated Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the round of 16 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 on 1 April 2014.[33]
Consecutive wins
Bayern Munich (2019–20 and 2020–21) holds the record of 15 consecutive wins in the Champions League. Bayern's run started on 18 September 2019 with a 3–0 win against Red Star Belgrade in their first group stage match, after losing 1–3 against Liverpool in the previous season's round of 16. The run continued in their other five group matches and all five knockout matches, as they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 in the final.[34] Bayern won the next four matches of the following season's group stage, before their streak ended on 1 December 2020 with a 1–1 draw against Atlético Madrid.
Bayern Munich is also the first club to win all of their matches (without needing extra time) in a Champions League season, winning 11 out of 11 in their successful 2019–20 campaign.[35]
Longest home undefeated run
The record for the longest unbeaten run at home stands at 43 games and is held by Bayern Munich.

The run began with a 2–1 win against Celtic in the 2017–18 group stage, and reached its 22nd match following Bayern's 1–1 draw away to Red Bull Salzburg in the 2021–22 round of 16. The streak ended in the following round, following Bayern's 1–0 quarter-final defeat at Villarreal. During this run, Bayern defeated Barcelona and Lyon in the 2019–20 quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively, played in Lisbon over a single leg as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
