  • PSV (1988)
  • Red Star Belgrade (1991)

Winning other trophies

See also Treble (association football) and Tuples in association football.

Although not an officially recognized achievement, only six clubs have ever 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 old Scottish League First Division, and the Scottish Cup.
• Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup.
• PSV 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.
• Internazionale in 2010, which included the Scudetto Serie A trophy, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League.

Liverpool in 1984 won the Football League 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. Furthemore, 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, in the 1966–67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously (sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of "the quadruple"), 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.
• Barcelona won the FIFA World Club 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.
• Internazionale completed The Quintuple by winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Supercoppa Italiana.

Juventus, Ajax and Bayern Munich are also the only teams to have won the three major UEFA official Cups, namely UEFA Champions League/European Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/Europa League.

Deciding drawn ties

• Play-offs
  • The first play-off was Borussia Dortmund beating Spora Luxembourg 7–0 in the preliminary round in 1956–57 after the two first games tied 5–5 (4–3, 1–2)
  • The last play-off match was Ajax beating Benfica 3–0 in the quarter-final in 1968–69 after the two first games tied 4–4 (1–3, 3–1). Ajax later progressed to the final.
  • The first (and only) replayed final was in 1974, with Bayern Munich beating Atlético Madrid 4–0 after 1–1 in the first meeting.
  • A total of 32 play-offs have been played. Real Madrid is the only team to have won three times, in 1956–57, 1958–59 and 1961–62, later progressing to the final on all three occasions. Feyenoord is the only team to win two play-offs in the same season, beating Servette and Vasas in 1962–63, while Wismut Karl Marx Stadt and Atlético Madrid have played the most play-offs with four each.
• Coin toss
  • The first coin toss was in 1957–58, with Wismut Karl Marx Stadt beating Gwardia Warsaw after the play-off was abandoned after 100 minutes due to floodlight power failure.
  • Zürich won a coin toss against Galatasaray in 1963–64 after their play-off match ended 2–2. This was the first time this rule was used for a tie played to completion.
  • The last season using a coin toss was 1969–70, with Galatasaray beating Spartak Trnava and Celtic beating Benfica, both in the second round. Celtic later progressed to the final.
  • A total of 7 European Cup ties were decided by a coin toss, Galatasaray being the only team to be involved twice, with one win and one loss.
• Away goals
  • The away goals rule was introduced in 1967–68, with Valur beating Jeunesse Esch 4–4 (1–1, 3–3) and Benfica beating Glentoran 1–1 (1–1, 0–0), both in the first round. Benfica later progressed to the final.
  • In 2002–03, Milan and Inter met in the semi-final. Sharing the same stadium (Giuseppe Meazza), they played 0–0 in the first tie and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and so became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium. They later went on to win the final against Juventus.
  • Milan is also the only team to have advanced on the away goals rule after extra time. In the semi-final against Bayern Munich in 1989–90, Milan won 1–0 at home and was 0–1 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals. They later went on to win the final against Benfica.
• Penalty shootout

  

  Alan Kennedy scored on the decisive penalty kick in 1984

  • The first penalty shootout in the European Cup was between Everton and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 4–11–1970, after both games ended 1–1. Gladbach's Klaus-Dieter Sieloff was the first player to score on a penalty kick, while Everton's Joe Royle was the first to miss. Everton went on to win 4–3 with Sandy Brown scoring the decisive goal.
  • The first penalty shootout in a final was between Liverpool and Roma in the 1984 final after 1–1 (aet). Roma's Agostino Di Bartolomei was the first player to score, while Liverpool's Steve Nicol was the first to miss. Liverpool went on to win 4–2 with Alan Kennedy scoring the deciding goal. Kennedy also scored the deciding goal in the 1981 final.
  • 9 finals have been decided by a penalty shootout. Liverpool is the only team to have won more than once (1984 and 2005), while Juventus and Milan have won one and lost one. No team has lost twice.
  • Barcelona is the only team to have been involved in two penalty shootouts in the same season. In 1985–86 they beat IFK Göteborg in the semi-final, but lost to Steaua Bucharest in the final.
• Extra time
  • 14 finals have gone to extra time. One was replayed, nine went to penalty shootout, while the remaining four were decided after 120 minutes, all before the Champions League era:
    • Real Madrid beat Milan 3–2 in 1958
    • Manchester United beat Benfica 4–1 in 1968
    • Feyenoord beat Celtic 2–1 in 1970
    • Barcelona beat Sampdoria 1–0 in 1992

Most goals in a match

Xabi Alonso scored Liverpool's third goal in the 2005 final

• Feyenoord beat KR Reykjavík 12–2 in the first round in 1969–70. This is the overall record for all European Cup/Champions League matches
• Monaco beat Deportivo La Coruña 8–3 in the group stage in 2003–04. This is the record for the Champions League era
• Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7–3 in the 1960 final. This is the overall record for all European Cup/Champions League finals
• Liverpool beat Milan on penalties in the 2005 final with the score tied 3–3 after 120 minutes. This is the record for all finals in the Champions League era

Not winning the domestic league

• Nottingham Forest is 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 later relegated to the third tier of their national league (in 2005).
• The competition format was changed in 1997–98 to allow teams that were not champions of their domestic league to compete in the competition. Since then there have been European Champions who had not been domestic champions. Notable instances include the following
  • Manchester United's treble-winners of 1999 were the first winners of the tournament to have won neither their domestic title nor the European Cup/Champions League the previous season. Since then, Real Madrid (2000), Milan (2003 and 2007), Liverpool (2005) and Barcelona (2009) have achieved this feat.
  • Liverpool's 2005 triumph came 15 years after their previous domestic league title (1990). That was the longest time any Champions League winner had gone since previously winning their league. Prior to this, the longest time period for any winner was Milan, whose victory in 2003 had come four years since their last Serie A win.
• Bayer Leverkusen (in 2002) is the only club to play in the final having never won their domestic league.

Comebacks

• Newcastle United in 2002–03 is the only team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first three games. In their last game against Feyenoord, Craig Bellamy's injury time (90+1) goal secured the 3–2 victory and a place in the second group stage.
• Only eight teams have progressed past the group stage after losing their first two games. None of these teams managed to advance through the next round in the tournament, however.
  • Dynamo Kyiv in 1999–2000, lost on head-to-head criteria in second group stage to Real Madrid despite having a better goal difference
  • Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen in 2002–03, placed 3rd and 4th in second group stage
  • Werder Bremen in 2005–06, lost to Juventus on away goals (4–4 agg) in the round of 16
  • Internazionale in 2006–07, lost to Valencia on away goals (2–2 agg) in the round of 16
  • Lyon in 2007–08, lost 1–2 to Manchester United in the round of 16
  • Panathinaikos in 2008–09, came back to win the group but lost 2–3 to Villareal in the round of 16
  • Marseille in 2010–11, lost 1–2 to Manchester United in the round of 16
• In 1994–95, defending champions Milan started the group stage with a loss and a win, but were deducted two points for crowd trouble against Casino Salzburg on matchday two. With 0 points after two games, they still managed to advance from the group and later to the final, where they lost to Ajax.
• The following teams have progressed past the group stage without winning any of their first three games:

  

  Filippo Inzaghi and Juventus drew their first five games in 1998–99

A total of 56 tournaments have been played, 37 in the European Cup era (1955–56 to 1991–92) and 19 in the Champions League era (1992–93 to 2010–11). 13 of the 55 attempts to defend the trophy (23.6%) have been successful, split between 8 teams. These are:

• Real Madrid on 4 attempts out of 9 (1956–57, 1957–58, 1958–59, 1959–60)
• Benfica on 1 attempt out of 2 (1961–62)

• Bayer Leverkusen ended third in Group A in 1999–2000, but would have been one point ahead of Dynamo Kyiv
• Panathinaikos ended third in Group E in 2004–05, but would have equaled 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 equaled the points of Inter and advanced on head-to-head matches

Qualifying from Qualification Round One

Longest home undefeated run

The record for the longest unbeaten run at home stands at 31 games and is held by Bayern Munich. The run began with a 0–0 draw against Borussia Dortmund in 1997–98 and finished with a 2–1 win against Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter finals 2001–02. The 31 game unbeaten run ended with a 2–3 loss to Deportivo La Coruña in the first group stage in 2002–03.

Longest away undefeated run

It lasted until the 3–2 win against Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza in the first leg of the first knockout stage 2009–10. The run ended with a 1–2 defeat to Bayern in the first leg of the quarter final 2009–10. During this run Manchester United were beaten 2–0 by Barcelona in the 2009 final.
