The full history of Champions League winners from 1993 through today includes legends of the sport at their absolute peak.
For almost 70 years, ultimate supremacy over the European club soccer scene has been determined by the Champions League (or European Cup as it was once known).
Clubs who reach the top face a gauntlet of the best players and clubs the continent has to offer. And at the end of it all they get to hoist one of the most iconic trophies in sports: Old Big Ears.
Real Madrid leads all clubs with 14 European Cups in their history and they're also the reigning champions going into the 2022-23 Champions League Final.
Who else has won the ultimate prize over the years?
