...that have won the European Cup/Champions League more time than us
Pretty staggering when you come to think of it - they are:
Real Madrid 13
AC Milan 7
Liverpool 6
Barcelona 5
Bayern Munich 5
Ajax 4
Inter Milan 3
Manchester United 3
Teams that have won it twice like ourselves are:
Juventus 2
Porto 2
Benfica 2
Forest 2
As I say, itβs not bad company to be in is it?
THERE ARE ONLY 8 TEAMS...

I have such a good memories of Forrest competing against us. Great potential if you get your act together.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, we’ve been saying that for the last 25 years
Great achievement by your Club tooKlopp must go down alongside the likes Shankly, Paisley, Fagan and Dalgleish...
....saying that, I have to be careful not to overdo it, the rivalry we encountered in the late 70’s still runs deep in me - you’re not my favourite team by a long way...but still a fantastic achievement for your Club tonight ππΌ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had such a hate towards your club in the 80s but it has been changed during the last 30 years since you have been relegated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ditto...but i suspect your hatred is more intense towards Forest, as it was us that dethroned you and took you place as Champions of England and Europe for about 3 years
As I say, it still runs deep in me...., but I can at least acknowledge a great achievement when I see one ππΌ

Yup, you are definitely the odd one out in that company. A glitch in the system Basically european royalty, then sewn up (Tampered competition) rich league monopoly’s and you.
What clough achieved with you is amazing, a monumental achievement.

And I’ll thank you to remember that, young man

Not True.
Our success owed much to support for the manager from the board (i.e. 'Let him get on with it)and the players, even those who disliked him, trusting him and doing what he asked (i.e. "Give it to Robbo"; a prince, a genius)

But only one of these teams fell into the third tier of their national leagues?

That's a spurious comparison though view, for example Arsenal have never been out of English top flight football [some say that they wangled their way in by dubious means] but do not appear amongst those illustrious European Winners?
Neither of course do Derby view!

In fact Derby's main cup success appears to be down at Texaco!

Only one team to be Champions of Europe more times than champions of their own country. Has to be a record across ALL the world’s continental club competitions?! It is in the most prestigious of them all anyway.
Nice little honour to have I think π
