Since 2001, no Spanish club has lost in a major European final (Champions League, Europa League, or Conference League), achieving an astonishing winning streak of 23 consecutive victories in European finals featuring Spanish clubs.

The last time a Spanish club lost in a European final was in the 2001 Champions League final, when Bayern Munich defeated Valencia on penalties 5-4 after a 1-1 draw.

Since then, clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Sevilla, Villarreal, and Valencia have participated in the finals and always emerged with the title. Among these titles are:

Real Madrid – 7 titles:

Champions League (UCL): 2002, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024

Sevilla – 7 titles

Europa League (UEL): 2006, 2007, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2023
