UEFA club competition winners
Real Madrid hold the record for the most overall titles (26), and have the most UEFA Super Cup wins (6) as well.[1] The Madrid club also have a record 15 titles achieved in the UEFA Champions League and its predecessor.[2] Barcelona have a record four titles in the Cup Winners' Cup, while Sevilla have a record of seven UEFA Cup and Europa League titles.[3] Roma, West Ham United, Olympiacos, Chelsea and Crystal Palace have each won one UEFA Conference League title. Finally, German clubs Hamburger SV, Schalke 04, and VfB Stuttgart, as well as Spanish club Villarreal, are the record holders by titles won in the UEFA Intertoto Cup (two each).
Winning sides by winning percentage
These are UEFA club competition title winners[a] with at least 80% winning rate during their triumphant season. Qualifying and preliminary round matches are not included, neither are play-off matches; results of penalty shoot-outs are considered the score which preceded them (including extra time).
As of the end of the 2025–26 season, Bayern Munich are the only team to finish a continental competition with a 100% winning record, achieving that milestone in 2020 as part of a modified tournament structure with a final eight in a neutral venue held in a single elimination match due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.

List of teams to have won the main European club competitions
In 2025, Chelsea became the first club to have won all four UEFA main club competitions; the European Cup/UEFA Champions League, the European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the UEFA Europa Conference League/UEFA Conference League.[5][6] They are also the only club to have won all three pre-1999 main UEFA club competitions more than once each, having won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1970–71 and 1997–98, the Europa League in 2012–13 and 2018–19, and the Champions League in 2011–12 and 2020–21.[b]
| Club | First title | Second title | Third title | Fourth title |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Chelsea | 1970–71 European Cup Winners' Cup | 2011–12 UEFA Champions League | 2012–13 UEFA Europa League | 2024–25 UEFA Conference League |
Only the first win is shown for any club with multiple wins of the same competition.
Four other clubs have also won the three main pre-1999 UEFA club competitions, the "European Treble" of European Cup/UEFA Champions League, European/UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.[4][7][8]
Only the first win is shown for any club with multiple wins of the same competition.
Although the Cup Winners' Cup no longer exists, 27 of its former winners could still add wins in the other two competitions to achieve the original European treble. Eleven of those teams are just one trophy away from the feat, including Barcelona and Milan who have both won multiple Champions League and Cup Winners' Cup titles and are one Europa League trophy away from achieving such feat.[9][10] Other clubs needing the Europa League title to achieve the treble are Hamburg, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain, having previously won the European Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup once each. The remaining five clubs need to win the Champions League; Atlético Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Anderlecht, Valencia, and Parma.
There is a chance for the 31 other former winners of the Cup Winners' Cup to win the Europa League and the Conference League to win all four trophies. Any other existing clubs can also win a modern UEFA treble (counting only the Champions, Europa, and Conference League titles) in the future.
Juventus received The UEFA Plaque from the confederation in 1988, in recognition of being the first side in European football history to win all three major UEFA club competitions,[11][12] and the only one to reach it with in a single coach spell (i.e. Giovanni Trapattoni). They completed the European treble in the shortest amount of time (eight years), while Manchester United reached it in the longest (49 years).[13]
Hamburg, Fiorentina, Ajax, Arsenal, and Liverpool are the only clubs to have been runners-up in all three of these competitions.[14] After the inception of the Conference League in the 2021–22 season, Fiorentina became the first club to lose a final in all four European seasonal competitions, suffered after losing the 2023 Europa Conference League final.
List of teams to have won all pre-1999 UEFA club competitions
Until the first Conference League final in 2022, Juventus was the only club in association football history to have won every men's official confederation tournaments.[15][16]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Juventus | 1976–77 UEFA Cup | 1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup | 1984 European Super Cup | 1984–85 European Cup | 1985 Intercontinental Cup | 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup |
Shows first win only in the case of club's multiple wins of same competition.
German side Hamburg was the only club to have been runners-up in all six UEFA club competitions played until 2021.[14] The club lost the European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1968, the European Super Cup in 1977 and 1983, the European Cup final in 1980, the UEFA Cup final in 1982, the Intercontinental Cup in 1983, and the finals of the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1999.
All winners from one country
Before the abolition of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1999 and after the commencement of the Conference League in 2021, only once have three clubs from the same country – Italy in 1989–90 – won all three main UEFA club competitions in the same season.[17] In between, clubs from the same country have won both remaining main UEFA club competitions (Champions League and Europa League) in the same season six times: two Spanish teams in 2005–06, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, and 2017–18, and two English teams in 2018–19.

All runners-up from one association
In 2022–23 season, for the first time in European football history, three different teams from the same association (Italian FIGC) lost in all three UEFA competitions: Inter Milan lost the Champions League final, Roma lost the Europa League final and Fiorentina lost the Europa Conference League final, respectively.[18][19]
Finalists from the same country
- Until 1997, the UEFA Cup was the only European club competition which routinely allocated multiple entrants to many countries. This has led to several finals featuring two clubs from the same country, in contrast to other UEFA club competitions before this time.[20]
- In total, on eleven occasions at the UEFA Cup/Europa League, on eight occasions at the UEFA Champions League and on eight occasions at the European/UEFA Super Cup has the final of the tournament involved two teams from the same nation.[21][22] This makes a total of 27 same-country finals across all these competitions (10 all-Spanish finals, seven all-Italian finals, seven all-English finals, two all-German finals, one all-Portuguese final).
Finalists from the same city
Clubs from the same city played with each other on four occasions. Only Madrid and London clubs have achieved this rare feat.
| Edition | Competition | City | Winners | Score | Runners-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013–14 | UEFA Champions League | Madrid | Real Madrid | 4–1 (a.e.t.) | Atlético Madrid |
| 2015–16 | UEFA Champions League | Madrid | Real Madrid | 1–1 (5–3 p) | Atlético Madrid |
| 2018 | UEFA Super Cup | Madrid | Atlético Madrid | 4–2 (a.e.t.) | Real Madrid |
| 2018–19 | UEFA Europa League | London | Chelsea | 4–1 | Arsenal |

- Real Madrid have played (626) and won (368) more games than any other side in Europe, and also hold the records for most goals scored (1,329) and conceded (690) as of 15 April 2026.[23]
