The competition's book of records: scorers, appearances, titles, young and old scorers, fast goals, big wins and the longest runs.
The scoring record is the most followed table in the competition. It gathers the highest career goal totals across both eras, from the European Cup of 1955 to the modern Champions League.
Core
The appearance record measures durability. It belongs to the players who reached the competition season after season and played in it for well over a decade.
Intermediate
The titles table is the record of clubs. It counts the trophies won across both eras, and its top is led by the side that has won more than any other in the history of the competition.
Core
The youngest-scorer records belong to teenagers. A goal in the competition at sixteen or seventeen is rare, and the players who manage it enter the record at the very start of their careers.
Intermediate
At the other end of the record sit the oldest scorers. A goal in the competition after the age of forty is rare, and the players who manage it show that experience can outlast youth.
Intermediate
The fastest-goal record is measured in seconds. A goal in the opening moments of a match is rare, and the marks at the top of the list were scored almost from the kick-off.
Intermediate
The biggest-win record is measured in goals. A handful of matches in the competition have ended with a margin large enough to enter the table, and the widest margins stand far above the ordinary.
Intermediate
The unbeaten-run record belongs to consistency. A long run without defeat must be built across a season and often across two, and it requires a club to avoid losing in Europe for many matches in a row.
Intermediate
The modern era begins in 1992. When the European Cup became the Champions League, the format changed, and a new set of records began to be written under the new name.
