When Real Madrid and Juventus square off on Saturday in the Champions League final, fans will watch two of the most successful clubs in European football history vie for yet another trophy.
Since crowning its first champion in 1956, the Champions League (known as the European Cup until 1992) winners circle has proved to be exclusive, with only 22 clubs claiming the 61 titles.
Ten teams have won once, so the remaining 51 are divided among 12 clubs.

Real Madrid sets the pace with 11, and they also have the best winning percentage of any club with more than two titles, going 11-3 in their 14 finals appearances. Juventus, on the other hand, have the worst winning percentage in finals among multiple title winners. They’ve finished as runners up six times, most recently against Barcelona in 2015.
Although history bodes well for Real Madrid, oddsmakers are calling this match a virtual coin flip, with Real listed as slight favorites at -120 or -125, depending on the sportsbook.
