Which are the 10 European Cup/Champions League finals with the most goals scored?

Just look at the statistics of the latest Champions League finals to discover that they often end with a result with under 2.5 traction, as in the case of the 2024 final and the 2019 final. If we take, instead, the Champions League finals between 2020 and 2023, we have a curious statistic for sports betting , because the result of the winners has always been 1 – 0.

Macumba statistics? Under 1.5 syndrome? The experts' opinion is contradictory, but the only certain fact is that during the finals of this tournament it is difficult to see the avalanche of goals.

Here are the 10 European Cup and Champions League finals with the most goals scored.

The first-ever European Champions Cup final, featuring Real Madrid and Reims, with Los Blancos starting their climb up the honours list by winning 4-3 and coming back from behind twice before lifting the trophy.

The chronological order also serves to establish the importance of the match and here the Blancos are playing for the possibility of winning their fifth consecutive title.

Real Madrid went behind in the 19th minute, then the game split, evolved and Puskas scored a poker, Di Stefano a hat-trick: it was 7 to 3 for the Galacticos in the final with the most goals ever.

This final was played between Bela Guttman's Benfica and Barcelona, ​​a balanced match that ended 3 – 2 for the Portuguese, giving them their first European Champions Cup.

After the flop of the previous year, Real Madrid returned to the final and Puskas scored a hat-trick, but it wasn't enough, because once again, Guttmann's Benfica came from behind in the second half and the match ended 5-3, with a brace from a very young Eusebio.

The Devils won their second Champions Cup and did so in style, triumphing 4-1 against Ajax with Pierino Prati scoring a hat-trick, making it one of the final matches of the tournament with the highest goals scored.

We finally arrive at the Champions League format, where in 2005 the final took place in which the most goals were scored in the last 20 years: Milan – Liverpool.

This is considered the best final ever in terms of spectacle: Maldini scores after 52 seconds. In the first half Crespo scores a brace and the Devil closes the first half of the game at 3 – 0.

In the second half it took only 6 minutes for England to equalise, a cruel fate that crushed Milan and delivered the cup with the big ears to penalties, directly into the hands of the Reds.

The 2017 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Juve, which ended 4-1 for the Galacticos, not only ranks among the matches with the most goals scored, but also gives the Old Lady the all-time record of 9 finals lost in this tournament.

For over 60 minutes the Bianconeri managed to hold their own against the Blancos, but the total defeat came during the final half hour.

We all saw what happened in the 2025 Champions League final, with PSG crushing Inter 5-0 and setting a record for the biggest margin in the result: this is the most exciting final in the last 8 years and also the one with the biggest goal difference .

This is the record previously set by Milan for the greatest goal deficit, first against Steaua Bucharest and then against Barcelona, ​​in two sensational finals and with an avalanche of goals in the 90 minutes of regulation time.
