♦ Football associations with the most appearances in finals:
- Spain: 31 finals (20 winners / 11 runners-up)
- Italy: 30 finals (12 winners / 18 runners-up)
- England: 26 finals (15 winners / 11 runners-up)
- Germany: 19 finals (8 winners / 11 runners-up)
♦ The English FA ranks first in terms of different winners (6: LIV, MUN, CHE, NFO, AVI, and MCI) and also in terms of different finalists (9: the aforementioned champions + LEE, ARS, and TOT).
♦ Liverpool vs Real Madrid is the most recurring final, having been played on 3 different occasions: 1981 (won by LIV), 2018, and 2022 (the last two won by MAD).
♦ The current longest winning streak in finals belongs to Real Madrid, champions in their last 9 appearances (1998-2024).
♦ The current longest losing streak in finals is shared by Juventus and Benfica, with both coming out defeated in their last five appearances (1997-2017 and 1963-1990, respectively).
♦ Real Madrid are the only club to have won back-to-back finals in the UEFA Champions League format (2016-2018) and also the one with the longest sequence overall, having been crowned champions in the first 5 seasons of the European Cup (1956-1960). Besides the Spanish side, 7 clubs have also won back-to-back finals: Benfica (1961-1962), Inter (1964-1965), Ajax (1971-1973), Bayern (1974-1976), Liverpool (1977-1978), Forest (1979-1980), and Milan (1989-1990); interestingly, the 1970s show a huge concentration of such a thing, with only 4 teams having been crowned champions in a 10-year period.
♦ Ancelotti is also the recipient of the highest number of champions' medals, having won the European Cup / UEFA Champions League a record 7 times, both as a player and manager (he triumphed as a midfielder for AC Milan in 1989 and 1990).
♦ With 8 appearances each, Francisco Gento (all for Real Madrid) and Paolo Maldini (all for AC Milan) share the record of most finals played.
♦ Having played entirely in the European Cup format, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Ferenc Puskás, each with 7 goals for Real Madrid, are the all-time goalscorers in finals.
♦ The biggest win in a European Cup / UEFA Champions League final was recently achieved by PSG, beating Inter Milan 5-0 in 2025. The final with the most goals happened in 1960 (10), when Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3; Di Stéfano (3) and Puskás (4) scored all the goals in the triumph over Frankfurt.
♦ Victorious in the European Cup / UEFA Champions League 2019-20 season, Bayern München became the first club in the history of European football to have won an official UEFA competition with a 100% winning record.
♦ PSV Eindhoven managed to clinch the title with the fewest wins ever, doing so in the 1987-88 season under a 9-game format: just 3 victories in the entire tournament and none from the quarter-finals onwards.
♦ Cities:
- On two occasions (2014 and 2016) the final of the European Cup / UEFA Champions League has involved two teams from the same city (Madrid)
- Only two cities harbour different teams that have won the competition: Milan (Inter and AC Milan) and Manchester (United and City)
- London is the only city to have been represented by three teams in the final: Arsenal (RU in 2006), Chelsea (RU in 2008, C in 2012 and 2021) and Tottenham Hotspur (RU in 2019)
