[edit] Unbeaten sides
Many clubs won the Cup unbeaten: Internazionale (1964), Ajax Amsterdam (1972), and Liverpool (1984) have the best record; 7 wins and 2 draws, and Barcelona (2006) has the record of 9 wins and 4 draws, whilst Manchester United have a record of 5 wins and 6 draws (1999). Ajax, Liverpool and A.C. Milan are the only teams to have won the trophy unbeaten twice.
Ajax Amsterdam was unbeaten in the Champions Cup/League for 20 matches from the whole of the 1994/95 tournament to the semifinal first leg in 1995-96, when they lost 0-1 to Panathinaikos in Amsterdam.
The team to win the Champions League with the fewest games won was Manchester United in 1998-99, managing just 5 victories in the entire tournament.
Rangers F.C were currently unbeaten in their last 13 consecutive UEFA Champions League Games including qualifiers, this run however came to an end after a loss to F.C Barcelona at the Nou camp. Rangers currently hold an unbeaten home record of 14 consecutive games in all European Competitions.

[edit] Participations
Real Madrid have the record number of consecutive participations in the Champions' Cup with 15, from 1955/56 to 1969/70.

[edit] Winning other trophies
Only one team has completed the 'quadruple' — win their domestic league championship, their primary & secondary domestic cups, and the Champions League/European Cup.This being Celtic in 1966/67.
Four sides have won the European Cup as part of a 'treble'. These were (in order) Celtic, Ajax Amsterdam, PSV Eindhoven and Manchester United. Celtic managed this in 1966/67. In 1972 Ajax won the European Cup, their domestic league and cup. PSV did this in 1987/88. Manchester United won their treble during the 1998/99 season.
Liverpool won a 'treble' in 1984 when they won their domestic league, secondary domestic cup and the European Cup in Rome against Roma.
Juventus FC, Ajax Amsterdam and Bayern Munich are the only teams to have won the three major UEFA official Cups, namely UEFA Champions League/European Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup [2].
Juventus is the only team in Europe to win all UEFA's Official Championships and cups [3].
Liverpool, in 1977, and FC Porto, in 2004, are the only two clubs to have won the Champions League as holders of the UEFA Cup.
Juventus' 1985 triumph is the only time the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup holders have won the Champions League.

[edit] Biggest wins
Feyenoord beat KR Reykjavík 12-2
Dinamo Bucuresti beat Crusaders 11-0
Manchester United beat R.S.C. Anderlecht 10-0 on September 12, 1956 at Old Trafford, Manchester.
Ipswich Town beat Floriana 10-0 on October 26, 1962 at Portman Road, Ipswich.
SL Benfica beat Stade Dudelange 10-0 on October 05, 1965.
Leeds United beat SFK Lyn Oslo 10-0 at Elland Road, Leeds.
Borussia Mönchengladbach beat EPA Larnaca 10-0
Ajax beat AC Omonia 10-0
Liverpool beat Beşiktaş J.K. 8-0 on November 6, 2007 at Anfield, Liverpool. This is the largest margin of victory in the current Champions League format exluding the knock-out stages.

[edit] Not winning the domestic league
Nottingham Forest are the only club to have won the European Cup more times (twice) than they have won their domestic league (once). Forest won the English League in 1978 before winning the European Cup in 1979 and defending it in 1980. Nottingham Forest are also the only previous winners of the European Cup to be relegated to the third tier of their national league.
Manchester United's treble-winners of 1998/99 were the first winners of the tournament to have won neither their domestic title nor the European Cup/Champions League the previous season.

[edit] Comebacks
Only six teams have progressed past the group stage after losing their first two games. The six teams are Dynamo Kiev in 1999-00, Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle United in 2002-03, Werder Bremen in 2005-06, Internazionale in 2006-07 and Olympique Lyonnais in 2007-08.[4].
Newcastle United in 2002-03 is the only team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first three games.[5]

[edit] Defence
Arsenal broke the record for the most consecutive clean sheets in 2006, with ten. They went without conceding a goal for 995 minutes.

[edit] Successful defending
AC Milan are the last team to successfully defend the trophy, winning it in both 1989 and 1990.

[edit] Nationalities
Celtic have the distinction of being the first UK based team to win the European Cup (1967) and one of only three teams to win the Cup with a team containing players all born in the same country (Scotland). The 1965-66 Real Madrid winning side's players were all born in Spain and Steaua Bucuresti won the Cup using only Romanian players; Celtic, however, was able to win the competition with all of their players within the same civic radius. 1967 was also the last year that an authentic cup was presented for the club to keep. Since then, winners are given a replica after returning the cup for presentation to the winner next season.

[edit] Countries
Only on two occasions has the Final of the Champions Cup/League involved two teams from the same country: Real Madrid vs Valencia (1999-2000) and AC Milan vs Juventus (2002/03).

[edit] Cities
The city of Milan, Italy, is the only one that won the Champions Cup with two different teams: Inter & Milan (the two clubs have won 9 cups in total).
Athens, Greece is the only city, which has been represented with three teams, Olympiacos FC, Panathinaikos FC and AEK Athens FC, in one year.
Only four derbies between teams of the same city have ever been played:
1958/59 Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid (semi-final)
2002/03 Internazionale (Milan) vs A.C. Milan (semi-final)
2003/04 Chelsea vs Arsenal (quarter-final)
2004/05 Internazionale vs A.C. Milan (quarterfinal) - the second leg was abandoned because of disturbances among the Inter fans.
The 2002/03 semi-final between bitter city rivals A.C. Milan and Internazionale was the first time both games of a two-legged tie were played in the same stadium (San Siro). The teams share the stadium as their home venue. A.C. Milan won by the 'away goals' rule. The teams also played each other in the same stadium in the 2004/05 quarter final.

[edit] Most matches
Since the addition of a third qualifying round in 1999/2000, Liverpool Football Club and FC Artmedia Bratislava were the first two teams to negotiate all three rounds of qualification and reach the Champions League group phase, both doing so in 2005-06. Liverpool went on to become the first team in the history of the competition to reach the knockout phase from the first qualifying round.

[edit] Appearances
Only 6 players have made 100 European Cup and Champions League appearances: Paolo Maldini, Roberto Carlos, Oliver Kahn, Raúl, Luís Figo and David Beckham. [6]
