Record European Trophies by a German Club

Lore & Background

Bayern Munich has won six European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles (a German record), one UEFA Cup, one European Cup Winners' Cup, two UEFA Super Cups, two FIFA Club World Cups, and two Intercontinental Cups.

In Their Own Story

The tunnel at Wembley in 1976 was narrow, thick with the scent of wet earth and electric anticipation. Franz Beckenbauer tightened his armband, the leather creaking softly against his skin as he steadied himself. Beside him, Gerd Müller bounced lightly on his toes, eyes locked on the pitch beyond the door. They had conquered Europe twice; now they sought immortality. As the referee signaled for them to emerge, the roar of the Glasgow crowd crashed over them like a tidal wave. Beckenbauer drew a deep breath, knowing that whatever unfolded next would etch their names into history forever. The third star was finally within reach.

It has reached the final of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League 11 times, a joint second-most of any club in the history of the competition, and is also second placed in numbers of semi-final appearances with 22.
