Real Madrid have extended their record as the most successful club in UEFA Champions League history, after they silenced Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, London.
Los Blancos’ victory over Edin Terzic’s side saw them pick up their 15th Champions League crown, more than twice the number of titles the second-most successful team in the competition has won.
Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr penned their name on the score sheet in the final, helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side continue their dominance in Europe.
Real Madrid Dwarf AC Milan’s Tally Of 7 UEFA Champions League Titles

Barcelona are the 4th most successful side in the history of the UEFA Champions League, winning the crown 5 times since the club was established in 1899.
Ajax have won 4 UEFA Champions League titles, while Manchester United and AC Milan have clinched the prestigious trophy thrice.
Juventus, Nottingham Forest, Porto, Benfica, and Chelsea have won it on two occasions, while 10 teams have won the trophy once.
They are; Celtic, Hamburg, Manchester City, Olympique Marseille, Borussia Dortmund, Feyenoord, Aston Villa, PSV Eindhoven, Red Star Belgrade, and Steaua București.
The UEFA Champions League trophy is the most coveted title in European club football, with teams putting their all to see that they claim the crown.
PSG Bold Challenge For The Champions League Crown Have Always Ended Up Fruitless In Recent Years
Paris Saint Germain are one team that have boldly made their stance over the years about winning the competition, however, they haven’t been able to do so.
They came close during the 2019/20 season, losing the final to Bayern Munich at the Estádio da Luz in Portugal.
PSG have over the years spent massively in acquiring players like Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe, all in an attempt to win the trophy, but their efforts have yielded nothing significant.
Football great Lionel Messi also joined the team in 2021, but he also couldn’t help the club win the trophy.
These players have all exited the team and certainly, they will look to go again next season under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to the Champions League title in 2015.
It will be interesting to see if they can finally claim the prize after the exit of these stars.
Only 23 teams have won the Champions League title and in the last 2 decades, just Chelsea and Manchester City were the new names to get their hands on the alluring honor.
The UEFA Champions League is a competition where immortality is achieved, and greatness is forged, with gladiators honored for their electric displays.
The competition was established in 1955, before being rebranded in 1992, and it was formerly known as the “European Cup”.
