All-time points table

In this ranking, two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss. Following statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. Only the top twenty-five are listed (includes qualifying rounds).

Number of participating clubs of the Champions League era (from 1992–present)

A total of 158 clubs from 34 national associations have played in or qualified for the Champions League group stage. Season in bold represents teams qualified for the knockout phase that season. Between 1999–2000 and 2002–03, qualification is considered from the second group stage. Starting from the 2024–25 season with the introduction of a league phase, the top eight are considered to be qualified as well as the eight play-off winners.

Away goals

  • First instance of the away goals rule: Valur v Jeunesse Esch and Benfica v Glentoran, both in the first round, 1967–68, Benfica later progressed to the final.
  • In 2002–03, Milan and Inter met in the semi-finals. Sharing the same stadium (San Siro), they drew 0–0 in the first leg and 1–1 in the second. However, Milan were the designated away side in the latter, and thus became the only team to win on "away" goals without having scored a goal away from their own stadium.
  • Last instance of the away goals rule: Paris Saint-Germain v Bayern Munich, quarter-final, 2020–21
  • Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Porto are the only teams to have advanced on the away goals rule after extra time:
  • In the semi-finals against Bayern Munich in 1989–90, Milan won 1–0 at home and were 0–1 down after 90 minutes in the second leg. Both teams scored one goal each in extra time, giving Milan the victory on away goals.
  • In the round of 16 against Chelsea in 2014–15, Paris Saint-Germain drew 1–1 both home and away. Both teams scored one goal each in the extra time period played in London, giving Paris Saint-Germain the victory on away goals.

This table <u>does not include</u> assists provided in the qualification stage of the competition. The following table includes the number of assists since the 1992–93 season. However, according to UEFA's own official list, Cristiano Ronaldo sits at 1st place with 42 official assists and Ryan Giggs sits at 5th with 31 assists. This is due to the website only counting assists from the 2003–04 season onwards. In addition, UEFA's criteria for assists differ from those of Opta, as it considers causing a penalty kick, free kicks, own goals, deflected, and rebounded balls as assists. </div>
