Real Madrid are the most successful team in the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League combined, with 13 titles.
The Los Blancos won the first five titles of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League from 156- 1960 and have never looked back since then. They also emerged as the first club to win the competition three on the trot since the competition was rechristened UEFA Champions League.
They are followed by AC Milan with seven UEFA Champions League trophies.
And Liverpool’s victory last Saturday has sent them one above Barcelona in the medal table of the European Cup and UEFA Champions League.
Introduced in 1955 as the European Champion Clubs' Cup, more commonly known as the European Cup, it was initially a straight knockout tournament open only to the champion club of each national championship. The competition took on its current name in 1992, adding a round-robin group stage and allowing multiple entrants from certain countries.
