Will Manchester United or Chelsea remain on top? Or will Liverpool finally break through to the final?

Champions League Legends - Real Madrid

Despite the fact that they haven’t won the Champions League since 2002, Real Madrid are UEFA Champions League stalwarts. Madrid has won the cup a record 9 times, including three times between 1997 and 2002, and an amazing 5 consecutive times from 1955-60. Their other win was in 1966, and they have lost three finals 0 in 1962, 1964 and 1981. Interestingly, of the top 5 record goal scorers in the Champions League, the top two are currently playing for Real Madrid (Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy). The 4th place goal scorer was Alfredo di Stefano, a Los Merengues legend, who was instrumental in their 5 consecutive European Cup wins.
