10 Champions League Facts That You Didn't Know About
The UEFA Champions League is by far one of the biggest sports competitions in the entire world. And let's face it, we all have daydreams and fantasies about playing in this competition.
Today we'll be bringing you some cool facts about the Champions League, and where better to start than with Ronaldo and Messi?
Yes, the two GOATs. They were so good in the Champions League, that they hold the current record for the highest goal scorers in the Champions League.
Matter of fact, they're the only players who have scored more than 100 goals in the UEFA Champions League. Pretty impressive, right?

Paco Gento is the player with most Champions league honours to his name as a player. He won it in 1956, 1957, 1958, 1958, 1960 and in 1966. He has also appeared in most UCL finals (8) tied with Paolo GOAT Maldini.
Asking about Maldini, his father, Cesare, did so in 1963. There were 4 occasions where a father and son have won the Champions League. Enzo and Luca Zidane, although didn't played so much in the Champions League, were listed as Real Madrid squad that won the Champions League in 2017 and 2018, when Zinedine was a manager.
But, there is a rare occasions when there was 3 "Marcos Alonsos" playing in the Final:
1.Marcos Alonso Imaz: Real Madrid in 1956-60 and 1962.
2.Marcos Alonso Peña: Barcelona in 1986.
3.Marcos Alonso Mendoza: Chelsea in 2021 (he didn't play during this one).
hum Eto'o also won the ucl with Real Madrid Barca and Inter
I will add several corrections and additional fun facts regarding this video:
1.The Champions League Final with the most goals scored was a 2005 one between Milan and Liverpool. There are 6 goals during the infamous Miracle of Istanbul (3-3). However, if the European Cup records were included, it was the 1960 Final between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt that held this record, with 10 goals (7-3).
2.In the same game, Paolo Maldini still holds the record for the fastest goal in Champions League Final history (and even taking all results from the past European Cups).
3.Manchester United won against Paris Saint Germain after losing 2 or more goals at home back in 2018-19 season. They became the first club in the Champions League era to ever achieve this feat in the knockout stages. Juventus in 2017-18 and Chelsea in 2021-22 could have won their knockout games against Real Madrid after being 3-0 up at Bernabeu, before Real Madrid scored an important goals to advance.
4.The best Champions League semifinals in the history is happen to be in 2018-19, when both English clubs reached the Final after making their infamous comebacks. Liverpool were 3-0 down to Barcelona at Camp Nou, but won 4-0 at Anfield. Tottenham Hotspurs were 3-0 down in aggregate, when Lucas Moura scored an incredible hattrick at Johan Cruyff Arena to end Erik ten Hag's Ajax's miraculous run.
5.Benfica losing every European Finals since 1962 was a part of Bela Guttmann's curse, when, after departing from Benfica following failed contract extension, he said that "Not in the centenary from now will we (Benfica) are the champions of Europe". Although Benfica won the Youth League in 2022, the curse was still exist, especially after Benfica crashed out in the Champions League quarterfinal to Inter Milan. While there was no indication for Juventus that Champions League failures was cursed, Muntari's infamous ghost goal in 2012 also led to Juventus' Serie A domination in 9 years and AC Milan's incredible demise in both Serie A and Champions League, but Juventus still lost 2 Champions League Finals in 2015 and 2017.
6.Since Borussia Dortmund in 1997, a team that played as the debutants in the Champions League Final didn't proceed to win the competitions on their first attempts. Chelsea and Manchester City's first European triumphs happened on their second attempts, since they had just lost their previous finals. Atletico Madrid and Valencia, on the other hand, lost a multiple finals without even grabbing a single Champions League crown.
7.The longest unbeaten run for any teams in the Champions League era was Manchester United. After winning the 2007/08 tournament unbeaten, the club defeated Inter Milan to extend the unbeaten run all the way to 25 games, which ended in a shortcomings defeat against Barcelona in the Final. The city rivals can even surpass this feat if they defended the crown unbeaten this season.
8.Bayern Munich is the first (and only) Champions League winning team to have always win for every games in 2019/20 season, although had 2 games less due to the unusual format caused by the pandemic.
9.You also included the oldest footballers to play in the Champions League, but there is a new feat that has been broken right now. When Porto faced Royal Antwerp last night, Pepe had just scored the goal at 40 years and 254 days in a 2-0 win for the Portuguese side, which was the oldest players to score the goal in the Champions League games.
10.There are only 4 goalkeepers who scored the goal in the Champions League, which included Lazio's Ivan Provedel during the game against Atletico Madrid, but none of them will beat Hans-Jörg Butt. This German goalkeeper had scored 3 penalties with 3 different Bundesliga clubs, but against the same club: Juventus!
11.Nottingham Forest has MORE Champions League triumphs than their domestic one, which only happened in 1977-78, the first season since their promotion.
12.Bayer Leverkusen reached the Champions League Final despite not winning a league from the past.
13.Although the away goal rule was abolished in 2021, there is big anomaly when the away goal rule was applied when both clubs played at the same stadium. In Milan Derby back in 2003, both games ended in a draw (0-0, 1-1), but AC Milan won that tie because when they were the visitors, they scored the goal (Andriy Shevchenko).
14.The 2000-01 is the Champions League season with the most goals scored overall. There are a whopping 449 goals during that season, with Matchday 1 of first group stage the same season also having a total of 63 goals.
15.There is only one season where European Cup had a group stage, and that was the last season of European Cup in 1991/92. Sampdoria is the only club to play in European Cup group stage, but not in the Champions League era. The closest time they did this was in 2010/11, when they lost 4-5 on aggregate to Werder Bremen in the playoffs, and were relegated to Serie B. Sampdoria reached the Final in 1992, but lost to Barcelona.
16.There are 23 Champions League clubs whose campaign ended with 6 defeats, but here are notable examples:
-Bayer Leverkusen in 2002-03 achieved this during the second group stage.
-Maccabi Haifa in 2009-10 became the first club to have a 6 defeats and 0 goal.
-Dinamo Zagreb achieved this twice (2011-12 and 2016-17). In 2016-17, they matched Maccabi Haifa's fate on not scoring a single goal and even conceded 15 goals.
-Olympique Marseille in 2013-14 became the first former Champions League winners to do so.
-Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015-16 whose a single goal came from penalty kick.
-Benfica in 2017-18 became the first seeded team (Pot 1) to do so. They can even match this worst campaign this season, as they still didn't score the goal.
-Rangers in 2022-23 has their worst goal difference overall for any teams (-20).
-Viktoria Plzen in 2022-23 has most amount of goals conceded (24), but only 1 more GD point than Rangers (-19).
17.AEK Athens in 2002-03 first group stage is the only team to went unbeaten, but still out of the Champions League by 6 incredible draws.
18.Steaua Bucuresti holds the record for the winless run in the Champions League, with 23 games not winning between 2006 and 2013. This club became FCSB.
19.Vicente Del Bosque literally completed the football, because he is the only manager to win the Champions League, the UEFA European Championship, and the FIFA World Cup.
20.This is even crazy, but it's true. The aforementioned Borussia Dortmund had won the Champions League in Munich back in 1997. No teams from the same country that hosted the Champions League Final will ever won it. Manchester United lost to Barcelona in 2011, when the Final was played at Wembley. A year later, Bayern Munich played at their own backyard against Chelsea and still lost. Could Manchester City break this curse when the Final will be played at Wembley this season?

Real Madrid that won5 champions in a row is the best prime even better than Barcelona in2009
Real Madrid is close to Milan's Dream Team under Berlusconi between 1989 and 2007. They have the same amount of UCL titles as Real Madrid during that period, but Milan had 3 Finals in which they lost (1993, 1995, 2005).

I don't understand why don't the FIFA Club World Cup get the same recognition (in my opinion the FCWC should get more recognition) than the UCL! Another forgot football tournament is the Olympic Games. I watch that tournament every time!
tell me why
It does get recognition... By every other continent except for Europe. Since other continents can't compete with Europe, it's an easy competition for them and so they don't have to take it seriously!
And add to the fact that the format of the tournament, how some teams only play 2 games, gives of a vibe that Fifa don't really Care about the tournament either like they do for the international one. That's why they are changing the format soon to make it better.
But still, the current format IS taken seriously by clubs from Africa, South America etc.
The fake Ronaldo and Messi keep on being the content of this CZcams channel
Ronaldo is better than r9
lamine yamal is the youngest player to play in the champions league
