Real Madrid have maintained their 100% success rate in UEFA Champions League finals, winning five out of five. AC Milan are the only other club to have appeared in more finals – six, only three of which they have won. All five of Madrid’s wins have come in even-numbered years, and three of their finals have been against Spanish opposition. Madrid have now overtaken domestic rivals Barcelona as the UEFA Champions League-era’s most successful club – with five wins to four. Barça have also contested five finals, their one defeat coming in their first (1994 v Milan).

Other than Madrid, the only clubs to boast a 100% record in UEFA Champions League finals are one-time finalists Marseille, Porto and Internazionale. Atlético have joined Valencia as the only clubs yet to win the UEFA Champions League who have contested more than one final (two each) in the competition. The one-time losing finalists yet to win are Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco and Arsenal.
