All-time points table

[edit]

In this ranking, two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. Following statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. Only the top twenty-five are listed (includes qualifying rounds).

Away goals

[edit]
  • First instance of the away goals rule: Iceland Valur v Luxembourg Jeunesse Esch and Portugal Benfica v Northern Ireland Glentoran, both in the first round, 1967–68, Benfica later progressed to the final.
  • In 2002–03, Milan and Inter met in the semi-finals. Sharing the same stadium (San Siro), they drew 0–0 in the first leg and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and thus became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium.
  • Last instance of the away goals rule: France Paris Saint-Germain v Germany Bayern Munich, quarter-final, 2020–21
  • Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Porto are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after extra time:
    • In the semi-finals against Bayern Munich in 1989–90, Milan won 1–0 at home and were 0–1 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals.
    • In the round of 16 against Chelsea in 2014–15, Paris Saint-Germain drew 1–1 both home and away. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time period played in London, giving Paris Saint-Germain the victory on away goals.
    • In the round of 16 against Juventus in 2020–21 (the last season the away goals rule was used), Porto won 2–1 at home and were 1–2 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time period played in Turin, giving Porto the victory on away goals.

More European Cups than domestic league titles

[edit]
  • England Nottingham Forest are the only club to have won the European Cup more times (twice) than they have won their own domestic league (once). Forest won the Football 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).

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.

Most assists

[edit]
Ryan Giggs has the most assists in the UEFA Champions League's history.
As of 12 February 2025[106]

Notes: The criteria for an assist to be awarded may vary according to the source, this table is based on the assists criteria according to Opta, where assists are not counted for balls that are deflected or rebounded off opposing players and have clearly affected the trajectory of the ball and its arrival to the recipient (the goal scorer). Assists are also not counted for penalty kicks, direct goals from corners or free kicks, or own goals. This table does not include assists provided in the qualification stage of the competition. The following table includes the number of assists since the 1992–93 season.[106] However, according to UEFA's own official list, Cristiano Ronaldo sits at 1st place with 42 official assists and Ryan Giggs sits at 5th with 31 assists.[107] This is due to the website only counting assists from the 2003–04 season onwards. In addition, UEFA's criteria for assists differ from those of Opta, as it considers causing a penalty kick, free kicks, own goals, deflected, and rebounded balls as assists.
