stage since the UEFA Champions League began. (This record, like the others, includes the seasons between 1999/2000and 2002/03 that featured a second group stage).

In 1992/93, Barcelona were the reigning European Champion Clubs' Cup holders and were beaten 4-3 on aggregatein the second round by PFC CSKA Moskva.

No team has successfully defended the UEFA Champions League trophy with AC Milan (1989, 1990) the last clubto win consecutive European Cups.

S.S. Lazio goalkeeper Marco Ballotta became the oldest player to compete in the UEFA Champions League in2007/08 when he featured against Olympiacos FC on matchday one at the age of 43 years and 168 days.
