UEFA Champions League History
The UEFA Champions League has roots in the Challenge Cup, Mitropa Cup, Nations Cup and the Latin Cup which was formed in 1949. The competitions as we know it was conceived in Paris in 1955 as the European Champion Clubs' Cup, or European Cup.
The first European Cup took place in 1955-56 season with 16 teams participating. The first European Cup final was contested between Stade de Reims and Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes with the Spanish club winning 4-3 thanks to goals from Alfredo Di Stéfano, Marquitos and a Héctor Rial double.
Real Madrid dominated the European Cup from then on, winning five consecutive titles which is a record that hasn’t been broken. Portuguese club Benfica were the next club to win the competition with Eusébio leading the way before Italian clubs AC Milan and Internazionale took control of Europe.
Real Madrid won their sixth title in 1965-66 before Celtic, Manchester United and AC Milan won in the following seasons. Dutch clubs took over from 1969-70 with Feyenoord winning the title before Johan Cruyff inspired Ajax Amsterdam to three consecutive titles.
Bayern Munich took over with three straight wins before English clubs dominated the European Cup from 1976-77. Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa were European Cup champions in a six year spell which was broken by Hamburg in 1982-83.
Liverpool regained the European Cup the following season before a terrible tragedy at the 1984-85 final between Liverpool and Juventus at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium. The death of 39 mostly Juventus fans resulted in a five-year ban from European competition for English clubs Liverpool banned for a six years.
Steaua Bucharest, FC Porto, PSV Eindhoven, AC Milan, Red Star Belgrade and Barcelona were subsequent champions before the European Cup was renamed the UEFA Champions League for the 1992–93 season. Marseille won the 1993 final against AC Milan but were later banned due to domestic match fixing. AC Milan won their fifth title the following season before Ajax, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid won the title.
An English club won the competition for the first time in 14 years when Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich in the 1998-99 final. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, FC Porto, Liverpool, Barcelona and Manchester United were subsequent winners before Spanish clubs began to dominate the UEFA Champions League.
Barcelona won in 2008-09 and 2010-11 before Real Madrid won their 10th European Cup in 2013-14. Barcelona won the following season but Real Madrid bounced back to win three consecutive titles under manager Zinedine Zidane.
