Note: In the 1992 and 1993 seasons there were no semi-finals as the finalists qualified via a group stage. The winners (Sampdoria and Barcelona in 1992, Marseille and Milan in 1993) and runners-up (Red Star Belgrade and Sparta Prague in 1992, Rangers and IFK Göteborg in 1993) of the two groups are marked as semi-finalists in the table.

• Ten clubs have won either the European Cup or the Champions League unbeaten, and only four clubs have done so twice:
  • Liverpool had six wins and three draws in 1980–81, and seven wins and two draws in 1983–84.
  • Milan had five wins and four draws in 1988–89, and seven wins and five draws in 1993–94.
  • Ajax had seven wins and two draws in 1971–72, and 7 wins and 4 draws in 1994–95.
  • Manchester United had five wins and six draws in 1998–99, and nine wins and four draws in 2007–08.
• Six clubs have done so on one occasion:
  • Inter Milan had seven wins and two draws in 1963–64.
  • Nottingham Forest had six wins and three draws in 1978–79.
  • Red Star Belgrade had five wins and four draws in 1990–91.
  • Marseille had seven wins and four draws in 1992–93.
  • Barcelona had nine wins and four draws in 2005–06.
  • Bayern Munich had eleven wins in eleven games in the reduced-schedule 2019–20, becoming the first side in any European competition to claim a trophy with a 100 percent winning record.[note 1]
• The team to have won the European Cup with the fewest games won is PSV Eindhoven (1987–88), managing just three victories in the entire tournament, including none from the quarter-finals onwards.
• The team to have won the Champions League with the fewest games won is Manchester United (1998–99), with five wins.
• Three teams have won the Champions League with the most games lost, Liverpool (2018–19), Milan (2002–03) and Real Madrid (1999–2000), all losing four games.

  • Nottingham Forest (1979, 1980)

• Four clubs have appeared in the final once, being victorious on that occasion:
  • Feyenoord (1970)
  • Aston Villa (1982)
  • PSV Eindhoven (1988)
  • Red Star Belgrade (1991)
• On the opposite end of the scale, twenty clubs have played at least one final, but never won. Only three of these have appeared in the final more than once, losing on each occasion:
  • Reims (1956, 1959)
  • Valencia (2000, 2001)
  • Atlético Madrid (1974, 2014, 2016)
• Of the 22 teams who have won the trophy, only two have lost more finals than they have won:

  • Benfica two wins (1961, 1962) and five losses (1963, 1965, 1968, 1988, 1990)

  • Real Madrid (2016 to 2018)

Manchester United won a treble in 1999: the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup (left to right); the English club also won the 1999 Intercontinental Cup.

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, seven 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":

• Celtic in 1967, having won the European Cup, the Scottish First Division, and the Scottish Cup
• Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup
• PSV Eindhoven in 1988 did likewise, having won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup
• Manchester United in 1999, having won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League
• Barcelona in 2009, which included La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League
• Inter Milan in 2010, which included Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League
• Bayern Munich in 2013, which included Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League
• Barcelona in 2015 won the treble for the second time, having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League
• Bayern Munich in 2020 became the second club to win multiple trebles, having won the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the Champions League

Liverpool in 1984 won the English First Division and the European Cup. However, this 'treble' included the Football League Cup rather than the FA 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. 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 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.
• Ajax also won the Intercontinental Cup (the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup and the de facto premier global club cup) and the 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 won the Intercontinental Cup the following season, winning a quadruple of cups.
