• Juventus is the club that has lost many Champions League finals, with the Italian giants losing on five separate occasions
• Liverpool’s defeat against Real Madrid saw them join AC Milan and Bayern Munich as the sides to have lost three Champions League finals
• Ironically, AC Milan and Liverpool have won the most number of Champions League titles than every other club except Real Madrid

Liverpool’s recent Champions League defeat to Real Madrid saw them scale up on some unwanted piece of history. Their 1-0 defeat saw them take fourth place in the list of teams that have lost the most Champions League finals.

The Reds were gunning for a seventh European title, but the defensive solidity of Carlo Ancelotti’s side and the precision of Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior undid them.

1. Juventus (5 defeats)

The Italian side has suffered the most number of heartbreaks on Europe’s big stage. They first lost to Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and then to Real Madrid a year later.

The Old Lady then lost the final in 2003 on post-match penalties against their Italian rivals, AC Milan. Their most recent defeats have come in the hands of Barcelona in 2015 and Real Madrid in 2017.

2. Bayern Munich (3 defeats)

English sides have proven to be an Achilles heel for the Bavarian giants on two different occasions. They fell to Manchester United courtesy of the famous Ole Gunnar Solskjaer goal in 1999 before going down to Chelsea in 2012 at their own home stadium. The other defeat came in the hands of Inter Milan in 2010.

3. AC Milan (3 defeats)

The Rossoneri are the second-most successful side in the Champions League history but have similarly suffered crushing defeats. The most notable one was in 2005 when Liverpool came from three goals down to win.

The other defeat was in 2007 when AC Milan exacted their revenge by winning 2-1.

5. Manchester United (2 defeats)

The days of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson were characterized by Manchester United dominating Europe to the latter stages of the competition.
