The most successful club of the UEFA Champions League is Spanish club Real Madrid, who have been champions of the UEFA Champions League for a total of 9 times.
The current holders of the UEFA Champions League trophy are AC Milan, who beat Liverpool F.C. 2-1 at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece on 23 May 2007. AC Milan have won the title 7 times.
