6 Top Clubs That Have Never Won The UEFA Champions League Cup

The UEFA Champions League is the most prestigious and decorated cup at club level, it is even bigger than the FIFA club world cup.

Real Madrid and Liverpool have won it more than other clubs, while there are other big clubs that are yet to lift it.

Let take a look at some of the biggest clubs in Europe that are yet to win the champions league trophy:

Tottenham hotspur
Tottenham is arguably among the top clubs in Europe, having won the English League title twice in 1951 and 1961 and two (2) Europa League cups in 1972 and 1984.

The English side have qualified for the UEFA Champions league six (6) times, next season inclusive.

The closest they came to winning the title was three years ago (2019), in a final against Liverpool which they lost, 2-0.

AS Roma
Roma made history by wining the first UEFA Europa Conference League Cup under Jose Mourinho in the 2021/2022 season. Amongst the big clubs in Italy, Roma is the only one without a Champions League cup.

They’ve won the Serie A three (3) times, Coppa Itlaia nine (9) times and Suppercoppa Italiana two (2) times.

Their best chance of winning the Champions League was back in 1984 which they lost to Liverpool on penalties, 4-2. Last season they were ranked 3rd in Italy on average stadium attendance above Juventus.

Atletico de Madrid
Atletico have 3 Europa League cups accompanied with 3 Super cups, but without a Champions League title.

They have been unlucky in the champions league final, losing twice by a comeback to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in 1974 and 2016 consecutively.

Aside Barca and Real Madrid, Atletico is the third biggest club in spain with 10 Laliga titles.

Paris Saint Germain
Though signing big names such as Leo Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to mention a few, they were unable to win the Uefa Champions League. Their highest achievement in the competition was in 2020 final against Bayern Munich which they lost, 1-0.

PSG are currently dominating the France league, with ten (10) League titles, wining 8 from the space of 2014-2022.

Manchester City have been crowned eight (8) times as champions of England, wining their first English Premier League title back in 2011.

Just like other big clubs mentioned here, winning the Uefa champions league is still a major objective. Their closest to winning it was in 2021 final which they lost to Chelsea.

Since 2011 they have been a regular in the champions league.

Arsenal
Arsenal has an unbeaten record in England in 2013/2014 season and the highest FA cup winner (14) in England . Their chance of lifting the UEFA Champions League was cut short by Barcelona in 2006 final. Arsenal have won 47 trophies in the club’s history, with 13 league titles.
