How many times have Real Madrid won the Champions League?

Real Madrid are the most successful team in European Cup and Champions League history. Including the 2021/22 showpiece in Paris, Los Blancos have reached 17 finals and have won 13 of those.

Five of those came from 1956 to 1960, when Alfredo Di Stefano and co won the European Cup in five consecutive seasons.

They would win the tournament once more in the 1960s, beating Partizan in 1966 after suffering final defeats to Benfica and Inter.

It took until 1998 for Real to win the Champions League again, ushering in another spell of dominance as they repeated the trick in 2000 and 2002.

Then, in the 2010s, the band of stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Sergio Ramos went on the rampage, winning the UCL a further four times, including three seasons in a row from 2015/16 to 2017/18.
