Real Madrid CF's victory in the UEFA Champions Leaguefinal at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica hashelped Spain strengthen their position at the top of theall-time table of successes.

The triumph, Madrid's tenth, is the 14th for a Spanish
club – with Spain's list of ten runners-up now including
Lisbon losers Club Atlético de Madrid. Spain therefore
boast two more European Cups than Italy and England,
who have 12 wins each from 26 and 19 final
appearances respectively. FC Bayern München's 2013
defeat of domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund means the
Bundesliga has seven victories in the competition,
German clubs having also finished as runners-up on ten
occasions.
The Dutch Eredivisie, which boasts six successes from
eight finals, is in fifth place. Portugal (four wins, five
losses) are the only other nation to have more than one
European Cup to their name. France, Scotland, Romania
and Serbia can claim a solitary triumph each.
