when did real madrid win the champions league
Real Madrid C.F. in international football competitions The European Cup was inaugurated in 1955, Real Madrid winning the first five editions.[4] However, after winning the trophy five times in a row in the 50s, and again in 1966, the club had little success until the end of the 90s, apart from their runner-up place in 1981. Since then, Real Madrid has won the competition six times, in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2014, 2016 and 2017 and established itself as one of the strongest sides in European competitions, when measured in UEFA coefficients.[5]
La Liga A total of 62 teams have competed in La Liga since its inception. Nine teams have been crowned champions, with Real Madrid winning the title a record 33 times and Barcelona 25 times. After Athletic Bilbao claimed several titles in the league's early years, Real Madrid dominated the championship from the 1950s through to the 1980s, when Athletic and neighbours Real Sociedad each won the league twice. From the 1990s onwards, Barcelona (15 titles) and Real Madrid (9 titles) were both prominent, though La Liga also saw other champions, including Atlético Madrid, Valencia, and Deportivo de La Coruña. In the 2010s, Atlético Madrid became increasingly strong, forming a trio alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona which occupied the podium places exclusively.
