Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured its second UEFA Champions League title after defeating Arsenal in the 2026 final, moving the French club into a select group of multiple European champions and updating the competition's all-time winners list.

According to UEFA records, Real Madrid remains the most successful club in Champions League history with 15 titles, far ahead of AC Milan's seven. Liverpool and Bayern Munich follow with six crowns each, while Barcelona has won five.

PSG's latest triumph lifts the club to two Champions League titles, placing it alongside historic European powers including Chelsea, Juventus, Porto, Benfica and Nottingham Forest. The victory marks another milestone in PSG's transformation from a dominant domestic force into a consistent contender on Europe's biggest stage.

The updated rankings highlight the enduring dominance of a handful of clubs. Real Madrid's record haul accounts for nearly one-quarter of all European Cup and Champions League titles awarded since the competition began in 1955. The Spanish giants have also won more finals than any other club.

England remains one of the competition's most successful nations, with clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Manchester City combining for multiple titles. Italy's AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus have likewise played a major role in shaping the tournament's history.

PSG's latest success is particularly significant for French football. Before the Paris club's emergence, Marseille's 1993 triumph stood as France's only European Cup victory. With two titles now to its name, PSG has become the country's most successful club in the competition.

UEFA says the Champions League is still the most prestigious club tournament in world football, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers globally each season. The competition's rich history, legendary finals and elite clubs continue to make lifting the trophy one of the sport's greatest achievements.

“Once again, I want to express the most sincere condolences to the families, who suffered such an unfulfillable loss. They lost the most precious thing that every family has, every person has. They lost their children and grandchildren,” Putin said.

“I repeat, we need to do everything to support people .”

Putin said he had requested updates from Russia’s top law enforcement officials regarding the investigation into the attack.

“I have invited both the Prosecutor General and the Chairman of the Investigation Committee. I would like to ask you to give your assessment of what has happened and report on how the investigation of these criminals is going. All of them must receive the deserved punishment, and it will be inevitable,” he added.
