The majesty of Les, Bars, and Münnes...21st Century UCL 140+ wins club
The record of the top 10 wins in the UCL in the 21st century was highlighted by Transfer Markt on the 8th. Real Madrid, Barcelona (Spain), and Bayern Munich (Germany) are called together for a reason. These clubs have won more than 140 matches in the UEFA Champions League as of the 21st century. European soccer statistics media outlet Transfer Markt shed light on the top 10 records related to the UCL competition on Sunday. The record was none other than the top 10 most wins in the UCL in the 21st century. What drew attention was the records of Real Madrid, Munich, and Barcelona, which are known as the "Levamune." Real Madrid has 159 wins out of 263 UCL matches in the 21st century. Munich is second with 151 wins out of 240 matches, and Barcelona is third with 143 wins out of 237 matches. Only the top three clubs have won more than 140 matches. History proves it. Real Madrid has won seven UCL championships since 2000. It also achieved the feat of losing three games in a row between 2016 and 2018. The club has 14 big years in total, half of which are records from the 21st century. Munich has also added three more times since 2000. Munich has six big years, three times before the 21st century and three times since. Barcelona had four times, one more than Munich. However, the three teams are taking different actions this season. Real Madrid clinched La Liga title early on, but Barcelona dropped to third place. At the UCL, which it held for the first time in a long time, it met with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and packed its bags for the quarterfinals. Munich is currently competing with Real in the semifinals. It tied 2-2 in the first leg, and the second leg will be held in Santiago Bernabeu, Real's home turf. Munich is "all-in" on the UCL, as it has already suffered a setback in the Bundesliga, the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal, and the DFL Super Cup. Meanwhile, Manchester United (England) is trailing only the "Lebanese." Manchester United has 97 wins in 187 matches. Chelsea (England) has 95 wins in 183 matches, and Juventus (Italy) has 87 wins in 171 matches, ranking sixth. Manchester City, which reigned supreme in the EPL, secured 72 wins in 125 matches, putting it in the 10th place. As its current record was only completed in late 2010, it is at a disadvantage in the number of participants in the UCL compared to other clubs. However, its winning rate is the highest among the top 10.
