Record appearances as European finalists

Sandra Sarmiento


On May 28th, Barça will play in a record 17th European final – more than any other team – and their 6th European Cup final.


Record appearances as European finalists

Two of the giants of the European game will come together at the end of this month at Wembley, as Barça, finalists three times in the last six seasons and semi finalists five times during that period, face Manchester United who go into their third final in four years. For Barça, the final also represents another record; their 17th in all European competition, more than any other club has managed, having already won 10 of them.

3 Fairs Cup Finals

Coached by Domènech Balmanya, Barça beat a London XI team with goals from the legendary players Evaristo and Vergés. The Club also won the trophy in 1960 and in 1966.

Three wins out of six

In the European Cup, it was third time lucky for Barça in 1992, winning at Wembley after disappointments in Berne and Seville. Paris and Rome then saw Barça wins after the harrowing 1994 defeat in Athens. That means the Club at the moment are even stevens in the finals of Europe’s biggest competition, with three wins and three defeats.

Four Cup Winners titles

Madrid, Milan and Juventus

Real Madrid have reached 16 European finals and won 11 of them: 9 European Cups and 2 UEFA Cups. AC Milan and Juventus have both reached 14 European finals.
