Although not an officially recognised achievement, seven clubs have achieved the distinction of winning the Champions League or European Cup, their domestic championship, and their primary domestic cup competition in the same season, known colloquially as `` the treble '' : Celtic in 1967, having won the European Cup, the Scottish First Division, and the Scottish Cup. Ajax in 1972 won the European Cup, the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup. PSV Eindhoven in 1988 did likewise, having won the European Cup the Eredivisie, and the KNVB Cup. Manchester United in 1999, having won the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Barcelona in 2009, which included La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. Internazionale in 2010, which included Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. Bayern Munich in 2013, which included Bundesliga, the DFB - Pokal, and the Champions League. Barcelona in 2015 won the treble for the second time, having won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. Liverpool in 1984 won the English First Division and the European Cup. However, this ' treble ' included the Football League Cup rather than the FA Cup. Bayern Munich in 2001 won the Bundesliga and the Champions League. However, this ' treble ' included the DFB - Ligapokal rather than the DFB - Pokal. In addition to this treble, several of these clubs went on to win further cups. However, most of these cups were technically won the following year following the conclusion of regular domestic or international leagues the year before. Also, several domestic cups may not have been extant at the time that equivalent cups were won by clubs of other nations, and in some cases they remain so. Furthermore, there is much variance in the regard with which several cups are taken both over time and between nations. Regardless, the following clubs all won competitions further to the treble mentioned above : Celtic also won their secondary domestic cup competition, the Scottish League Cup, in the 1966 -- 67 season concurrently with the treble of cups mentioned previously ( sometimes colloquially referred to as a part of `` the quadruple '' ), thus making their achievement unique in this respect to every other club. Ajax also won the Intercontinental Cup ( the predecessor of the FIFA Club World Cup and the de facto premier global club cup ) and the inaugural ( and technically unofficial ) UEFA Super Cup the following season, forming part of a quintuple of Cup successes ; they thus won all available cups to them. Manchester United won the Intercontinental Cup the following season, winning a quadruple of cups. Barcelona won the FIFA Club World Cup, the European Super Cup, and the Supercopa de España the following season, making it a sextuple of cup successes, and thus winning all available cups to them. Internazionale completed The Quintuple by winning Serie A, the Coppa Italia, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the Supercoppa Italiana. Bayern Munich also won the DFL - Supercup in the start of the 2012 -- 13 season, winning a quadruple of cups. Juventus, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Manchester United are also 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 / Europa League. Juventus was the first club in association football history -- and remain the only one at present -- to have won all official continental tournaments and the world champions title. Chelsea became the first club to hold the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League trophies simultaneously by winning 2011 -- 12 UEFA Champions League and 2012 -- 13 UEFA Europa League.

Deciding drawn ties Play - offs The first play - off was Borussia Dortmund beating Spora Luxembourg 7 -- 0 in the preliminary round in 1956 -- 57 after the two first games tied 5 -- 5 ( 4 -- 3, 1 -- 2 ). The last play - off match was Ajax beating Benfica 3 -- 0 in the quarter - final in 1968 -- 69 after the two first games tied 4 -- 4 ( 1 -- 3, 3 -- 1 ). Ajax later progressed to the final. The first ( and only ) replayed final was in 1974, with Bayern Munich beating Atlético Madrid 4 -- 0 after 1 -- 1 in the first meeting. A total of 32 play - offs have been played. Real Madrid is the only team to have won three times, in 1956 -- 57, 1958 -- 59 and 1961 -- 62, later progressing to the final on all three occasions. Feyenoord is the only team to win two play - offs in the same season, beating Servette and Vasas in 1962 -- 63, while Wismut Karl Marx Stadt and Atlético Madrid have played the most play - offs with four each. Coin toss The first coin toss was in 1957 -- 58, with Wismut Karl Marx Stadt beating Gwardia Warsaw after the play - off was abandoned after 100 minutes due to floodlight power failure. Zürich won a coin toss against Galatasaray in 1963 -- 64 after their play - off match ended 2 -- 2. This was the first time this rule was used for a tie played to completion. The last season using a coin toss was 1969 -- 70, with Galatasaray beating Spartak Trnava and Celtic beating Benfica, both in the second round. Celtic later progressed to the final. A total of 7 European Cup ties were decided by a coin toss, Galatasaray being the only team to be involved twice, with one win and one loss. Away goals The away goals rule was introduced in 1967 -- 68, with Valur beating Jeunesse Esch 4 -- 4 ( 1 -- 1, 3 -- 3 ) and Benfica beating Glentoran 1 -- 1 ( 1 -- 1, 0 -- 0 ), both in the first round. Benfica later progressed to the final. In 2002 -- 03, Milan and Internazionale met in the semi-final. Sharing the same stadium ( Giuseppe Meazza ), they played 0 -- 0 in the first tie and 1 -- 1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and so became the only team to win on `` away '' goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium. They later went on to win the final against Juventus. Milan and Paris Saint - Germain are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after extra time. In the semi-final against Bayern Munich in 1989 -- 90, Milan won 1 -- 0 at home and were 1 -- 0 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals. They later went on to win the final against Benfica. In the round of 16 against Chelsea in 2014 -- 15, PSG drew 1 -- 1 at home and away. Both teams scored one goal each in extra time, giving PSG the victory on away goals. Penalty shootout Alan Kennedy scored the decisive penalty kick in 1984. The first penalty shootout in the European Cup was between Everton and Borussia Mönchengladbach on 4 November 1970, after both games ended 1 -- 1. Gladbach 's Klaus - Dieter Sieloff was the first player to score on a penalty kick, while Everton 's Joe Royle was the first to miss. Everton went on to win 4 -- 3 with Sandy Brown scoring the decisive goal. The first penalty shootout in a final was between Liverpool and Roma in the 1984 final after 1 -- 1 ( a.e.t. ). Roma 's Agostino Di Bartolomei was the first player to score, while Liverpool 's Steve Nicol was the first to miss. Liverpool went on to win 4 -- 2 with Alan Kennedy scoring the deciding goal. Kennedy also scored the deciding goal in the 1981 final. 11 finals have been decided by a penalty shootout. Liverpool is the only team to have won more than once ( 1984 and 2005 ), while Juventus, Milan, Bayern Munich and Chelsea have won one and lost one. No team has lost twice. Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid are the only teams to have been involved in two penalty shootouts in the same season. In 1985 -- 86, Barcelona beat IFK Göteborg in the semi-finals, but lost to Steaua București in the final. In 2011 -- 12, Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid in the semi-finals but lost to Chelsea in the final. In 2015 -- 16, Atlético Madrid beat PSV Eindhoven in the Round of 16 but lost to Real Madrid in the final. Extra time 17 finals have gone to extra time.

This is the record for the Champions League era. Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7 -- 3 in the 1960 final. This is the overall record for all European Cup / Champions League finals. Highest scoring draws The highest scoring draw is eight goals ( four goals each ) : Hamburg 4 -- 4 Juventus in 2000 -- 01 Chelsea 4 -- 4 Liverpool in 2008 -- 09 Bayer Leverkusen 4 -- 4 Roma in 2015 -- 16 Not winning the domestic League Nottingham Forest is 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 later relegated to the third tier of their national league ( in 2005 ). The competition format was changed in 1997 -- 98 to allow teams that were not champions of their domestic league to compete in the competition. Since then there have been European Champions who had not been domestic champions. Notable instances include the following : Manchester United 's treble - winners of 1999 were the first winners of the tournament to have won neither their domestic title nor the European Cup / Champions League the previous season. Since then, Real Madrid ( 2000, 2014, 2016 ), Milan ( 2003 and 2007 ), Liverpool ( 2005 ), Barcelona ( 2009 and 2015 ), and Chelsea ( 2012 ) have achieved this feat. Liverpool 's 2005 triumph came 15 years after their previous domestic league title ( 1990 ). That was the longest time any Champions League winner had gone since previously winning their league. Prior to this, the longest time period for any winner was Milan, whose victory in 2003 had come four years since their last Serie A win. Bayer Leverkusen ( in 2002 ) is the only club to play in the final having never won their domestic league. Comebacks Newcastle United in 2002 -- 03 is the only team to have progressed past the group stage after losing their first three games. In their last game against Feyenoord, Craig Bellamy 's injury time ( 90 + 1 ' ) goal secured the 3 -- 2 victory and a place in the second group stage. Only ten teams have progressed past the group stage after losing their first two games. Only Galatasaray managed to advance past the Round of 16 in the tournament, however. Dynamo Kyiv in 1999 -- 2000, lost on head - to - head criteria in second group stage to Real Madrid despite having a better goal difference Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen in 2002 -- 03, placed 3rd and 4th in second group stage Werder Bremen in 2005 -- 06, lost to Juventus on away goals ( 4 -- 4 agg ) in the round of 16 Internazionale in 2006 -- 07, lost to Valencia on away goals ( 2 -- 2 agg ) in the round of 16 Lyon in 2007 -- 08, lost 1 -- 2 to Manchester United in the round of 16 Panathinaikos in 2008 -- 09, came back to win the group but lost 2 -- 3 to Villarreal in the round of 16 Marseille in 2010 -- 11, lost 1 -- 2 to Manchester United in the round of 16 Galatasaray in 2012 -- 13, lost 3 -- 5 to Real Madrid in the quarter - finals Arsenal in 2015 -- 16, lost 1 -- 5 to Barcelona in the round of 16 In 1994 -- 95, defending champions Milan started the group stage with a loss and a win, but were deducted two points for crowd trouble against Casino Salzburg on matchday two. With 0 points after two games, they still managed to advance from the group and later to the final, where they lost to Ajax. Only Juventus 1998 -- 99 have progressed past the group stage without winning any of their first five games ( five draws ). Zinedine Zidane and Juventus drew their first five games in 1998 -- 99. Only two teams have progressed past the group stage without winning any of their first four games : Lokomotiv Moscow lost three and drew one in 2002 -- 03 ( first group stage ) Manchester City lost two and drew two in 2014 -- 15 The following teams have progressed past the group stage without winning any of their first three games : Dynamo Kyiv lost one and drew two in 1998 -- 99 Dynamo Kyiv lost two and drew one in 1999 -- 2000 Fiorentina lost one and drew two in 1999 -- 2000 Feyenoord drew their first five games in 1999 -- 2000 Liverpool lost one and drew two in 2001 -- 02 ( second group stage ) Newcastle United lost their first three games in 2002 -- 03 Arsenal lost two and drew one in 2003 -- 04 Celta Vigo lost one and drew two in 2003 -- 04 Porto lost two and drew one in 2004 -- 05 Werder Bremen lost two and drew one in 2005 -- 06 Villarreal drew three in 2005 -- 06 Liverpool lost two and drew one in 2007 -- 08 Panathinaikos lost two and drew one in 2008 -- 09 Internazionale drew three in 2009 -- 10 Stuttgart lost one and drew two in 2009 -- 10 Juventus drew three in 2012 -- 13 Galatasaray lost two and drew one in 2012 -- 13 17 teams have lost the first leg of a knockout match with three goals, but still managed to qualify for the next round : Milan lost 5 -- 2 to Rapid Wien in the preliminary round 1957 -- 58, but won 4 -- 1 in the second leg and 4 -- 2 in the play - off Schalke 04 lost 3 -- 0 to KB in the first round 1958 -- 59, but won 5 -- 2 in the second leg and 3 -- 1 in the play - off Jeunesse Esch lost 4 -- 1 to Haka in the preliminary round 1963 -- 64, but won 4 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 4 on aggregate Partizan lost 4 -- 1 to Sparta Prague in the quarter - final 1965 -- 66, but won 5 -- 0 in the second leg and 6 -- 4 on aggregate Panathinaikos lost 4 -- 1 to Red Star Belgrade in the semi-final 1970 -- 71, but won 3 -- 0 in the second leg and progressed to the final on away goals Saint - Étienne lost 4 -- 1 to Hajduk Split in the second round 1974 -- 75, but won 5 -- 1 in the second leg and 6 -- 5 on aggregate Real Madrid lost 4 -- 1 to Derby County in the second round 1975 -- 76, but won 5 -- 1 in the second leg and 6 -- 5 on aggregate Barcelona lost 3 -- 0 to Gothenburg in the semi-final 1985 -- 86, but won 3 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 4 on penalties Werder Bremen lost 3 -- 0 to Dynamo Berlin in the first round 1988 -- 89, but won 5 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 3 on aggregate Galatasaray lost 3 -- 0 to Neuchâtel Xamax in the second round 1988 -- 89, but won 5 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 3 on aggregate Leeds United lost 3 -- 0 to Stuttgart in the first round 1992 -- 93, but was awarded a score of 3 -- 0 in the second leg and won 2 -- 1 in the play - off Copenhagen lost 3 -- 0 to Linfield in the first round 1993 -- 94, but won 4 -- 0 ( aet ) in the second leg and 4 -- 3 on aggregate Paris Saint - Germain lost 3 -- 0 to Steaua București in the second qualifying round 1997 -- 98, but won 5 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 3 on aggregate Widzew Łódź lost 4 -- 1 to Litex Lovech in the second qualifying round 1999 -- 2000, but won 4 -- 1 in the second leg and 3 -- 2 on penalties KF Tirana lost 3 -- 0 to Dinamo Tbilisi in the first qualifying round 2003 -- 04, but won 3 -- 0 in the second leg and 4 -- 2 on penalties Deportivo La Coruña lost 4 -- 1 to Milan in the quarter - final 2003 -- 04, but won 4 -- 0 in the second leg and 5 -- 4 on aggregate Roma lost 4 -- 1 to Barcelona in the quarter - final 2017 -- 18, but won 3 -- 0 in the second leg and went through on away goals Only one team has lost the first leg of a knockout match by four goals, but still managed to qualify for the next round : Barcelona lost 4 -- 0 to Paris Saint - Germain in the first leg of the round of 16 in the 2016 -- 17 UEFA Champions League, but won 6 -- 1 in the second leg to win 6 -- 5 on aggregate. Defence Arsenal goalkeepers Jens Lehmann and Manuel Almunia racked up ten consecutive clean sheets en route to the 2006 Final. Arsenal hold the record for the most consecutive clean sheets with ten in 2005 -- 06. They went without conceding a goal for 995 minutes between September 2005 and May 2006. The run started after Markus Rosenberg 's goal for Ajax after 71 minutes on matchday two of the group stage, continued with four group stage games and six games in the knockout rounds, and ended with Samuel Eto'o 's goal for Barcelona after 76 minutes in the final. The 995 minutes were split between two goalkeepers, Jens Lehmann with 648 and Manuel Almunia with 347 minutes. Manchester United hold the record for the longest run without conceding from the start of a campaign, with 481 minutes in 2010 -- 11. The run ended with Pablo Hernández 's goal for Valencia after 32 minutes on matchday six of the group stage. Manchester United in 2010 -- 11 is the only team to play six away games in a single Champions League season without conceding a goal. Defending the trophy A total of 63 tournaments have been played, 37 in the European Cup era ( 1955 -- 56 to 1991 -- 92 ) and 26 in the Champions League era ( 1992 -- 93 to 2017 -- 18 ). 15 of the 62 attempts to defend the trophy ( 24.19 % ) have been successful, split between 8 teams. These are : Real Madrid on 6 attempts out of 12 ( 1956 -- 57, 1957 -- 58, 1958 -- 59, 1959 -- 60, 2016 -- 17, 2017 -- 18 ) Benfica on 1 attempt out of 2 ( 1961 -- 62 ) Internazionale on 1 attempt out of 3 ( 1964 -- 65 ) Ajax on 2 attempts out of 4 ( 1971 -- 72, 1972 -- 73 ) Bayern Munich on 2 attempts out of 5 ( 1974 -- 75, 1975 -- 76 ) Liverpool on 1 attempt out of 5 ( 1977 -- 78 ) Nottingham Forest on 1 attempt out of 2 ( 1979 -- 80 ) Milan on 1 attempt out of 7 ( 1989 -- 90 ).

Celtic won the competition in 1967 with their entire squad born within a 30 - mile radius of Celtic Park, their home ground. Nottingham Forest ( 1979 and 1980 ) won twice with a team consisting of players from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland ( Martin O'Neill played in the 1980 final ). Liverpool won in 1981 with a team consisting of players from England and Scotland. Aston Villa also won the European Cup ( 1982 ) with a team consisting entirely of players from England and Scotland.
