UEFA Champions League Titles by Team (2025)

The UEFA Champions League, originally known as the European Cup, is the most prestigious club competition in European football. Since its inception in the 1955-56 season, a total of 24 different clubs have lifted the trophy. Real Madrid remains the undisputed leader of the competition, having secured a record-breaking 15th title in the 2023-24 season with a victory over Borussia Dortmund. They are followed by Italy's AC Milan with 7 titles, and Germany's Bayern Munich and England's Liverpool, each with 6 titles.

The most recent edition of the tournament saw a historic milestone as Paris Saint-Germain claimed their first-ever Champions League title in May 2025, defeating Inter Milan in the final held in Munich. This victory made them the 24th unique club to win the competition and the first new winner since Manchester City's maiden triumph in 2023. Other notable multi-time winners include Barcelona with 5 titles, Ajax with 4, and both Manchester United and Inter Milan with 3 titles each.

As of January 2026, the dominance of Spanish, English, and German clubs continues to define the landscape of the tournament, though the rise of new champions like PSG and Manchester City highlights the evolving competitiveness of the league phase and knockout stages. The competition has seen 70 titles awarded over seven decades, with the trophy remaining the ultimate symbol of European footballing excellence.
