No club has won more matches in the competition (104). No club has won more games in the competition (82). No club has scored more goals in the competition (390).

 

This period of dominance that Lyon are enjoying will go down in history as one of the greatest eras for not just a football team, but a team in any sport, and many of the players involved over the last five years will go down as some of the greatest to play the game.

 

Goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi (in Lyon since 2009), forward Eugenie Le Sommer (in Lyon since 2010), centre-back Wendie Renard (in Lyon since 2006) and winger Amel Majri (in Lyon since 2010) have won seven UEFA Champions League titles. Seven !
