Two of the most successful clubs in Champions League history faced off last night in their quest to book their place in the final. It was all square between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich after a 2-2 draw in Germany but Real produced a late comeback in Madrid as Joselu scored twice to cancel out Alphonso Davies’ opener. Madrid will meet Borussia Dortmund in the final after the Germans produced two stunning performances to win both legs 1-0 against PSG.

Dortmund will return to Wembley, where they lost to Bayern Munich in the 2013 final but there will be no repeat of that all German final this season. Madrid are eyeing their 15th European Cup/Champions League title and Carlo Ancelotti has won the competition more than any other manager with four wins. Unsurprisingly, Madrid have recorded the most Champions League wins in the 21st century and we’ve looked at which other clubs join the Spanish giants in the top ten. 

Which clubs have won the most Champions League games since 2001?

Real Madrid have accumulated 160 wins in 264 games in the competition in the 21st century. They’ve won the Champions League six times since 2001 and they lifted the famous trophy in three consecutive years between 2016 and 2018. Bayern Munich won the first ever Champions League in the 21st century after beating Valencia in the 2001 final and the Bundesliga side have the second most wins with 151 from 241 games. 

Barcelona ranks third, while Manchester United top five English teams in the top ten. Despite their struggles in recent seasons, United have 97 wins in the 21st century, which is two more than Chelsea in 5th. Juventus are the only Italian team in the top ten in sixth place with 87 wins and Porto have defied the odds in Europe’s most prestigious club competition – winning it in 2004 under José Mourinho – and they rank 9th with 74 wins – two more than Manchester City.
