UEFA Champions League History

Real Madrid has proven to be the best of the best with 15 UEFA Champions League titles, not to mention three runners-up finishes. The club's dominance in European football is unparalleled, with a storied history that dates back to their first triumph in the 1955-56 season. Real Madrid's early successes in the competition set the standard, as they won the first five editions of the European Cup, establishing themselves as a football powerhouse.

From 2014 through 2018, Real Madrid won five UCL titles, a period that is considered one of the most dominant eras in the club's history. Under the management of Carlo Ancelotti and later Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid's "La Décima"—their 10th European title—came in 2014 after a dramatic extra-time victory over Atlético Madrid. This was followed by an unprecedented three-peat from 2016 to 2018, a feat never achieved in the Champions League era.

The 2016 final saw Real Madrid once again facing Atlético Madrid, this time securing victory through a penalty shootout. In 2017, they became the first club to retain the Champions League title in its current format, defeating Juventus 4-1 in the final. Their third consecutive title in 2018 came with a 3-1 win over Liverpool, cementing Zidane's legacy as one of the greatest managers in the competition's history.

Real Madrid's success has been built on the contributions of numerous football legends. Cristiano Ronaldo, the competition's all-time top scorer, played a pivotal role during this period, alongside iconic players such as Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, and Marcelo. The club's ability to perform on the biggest stage, combined with a winning mentality and tactical prowess, has made them synonymous with European glory.

Beyond their Champions League success, Real Madrid has also dominated domestically, with numerous La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de España titles. Their global fanbase and rich history make them not only a symbol of Spanish football but also a beacon of excellence in the sport worldwide.
