PSG make history

On May 31, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain simply crushed Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final. It is the biggest win in the modern history of the competition. A five-goal margin. In a final. Désiré Doué, 20, scored a brace. Luis Enrique became the first coach to have taken two different clubs to the final (Barça 2015, PSG 2025).

Ancelotti, the undisputed king of the dugout

Carlo Ancelotti has 5 wins in Champions League finals — an all-time record for a coach. Milan in 2003 and 2007, Madrid in 2014, 2022 and 2024. Zidane and Guardiola are on 3.

Zinédine Zidane remains the only coach to have won 3 consecutive finals (2016, 2017, 2018 with Real Madrid).

Who has played the most finals?

Real Madrid are in a league of their own with 9 Champions League finals played in the modern era. Behind them, Milan, Bayern and Juve are on 6 each, ahead of Barça and Liverpool (5) and Man United (4).

The records you probably wouldn’t have guessed

Patrick Kluivert came on and scored the winning goal for Ajax against AC Milan in 1995. He was 18 years and 327 days old. The youngest scorer in the history of the competition. In a final.

Clarence Seedorf is the only player to have won the Champions League with three different clubs : Ajax (1995), Real Madrid (1998) and AC Milan (2003 and 2007). Something straight out of science fiction.

Nottingham Forest have the best win rate in finals in all of history: 100%. Two finals played in 1979 and 1980, two titles.

Dino Zoff played in a European Cup final at 41 years and 86 days old with Juventus in 1983. He lost 1-0 to Hamburg. The oldest finalist in history.
