Since the reform of the Champions League, except for Real Madrid, there are only two teams that have reached the finals for three consecutive seasons.

First, let’s explain the so-called Champions League reform. In fact, even if the Champions League this season has been restructured, the scale has expanded from 32 teams to 36 teams, and the group stage has been cancelled, and it has been changed to a powerful melee of 36. However, the narrowly restructuring of the Champions League can only be changed to the UEFA Champions League in 1992. So today our topic is limited to the 33 years since 1992.

What is the hardest since the reform of the Champions League? Of course it's defending the title. I know you will open your mouth and tell the glory of Real Madrid's three consecutive championships from 2016 to 2018. But the problem is, in 33 years, this is only one example. It can be said that Real Madrid not only set a record, but also exceeded the limit. Originally, it was just defending the title, and it defended twice. How could other teams feel?

Barcelona in the third period of Dreams were powerful enough in terms of strength and dominance, but they were unable to defend their title. Until now, there are still people who are arguing whether it is difficult to win the treble championship or the three consecutive Champions League championships. Not to mention anything else, just from today's topic, the three consecutive championships seem to be more worthy of being remembered by the history of the Champions League.

Perhaps, the defending title is a bit out of the ordinary. In fact, it is already very awesome to be able to reach the finals for two consecutive seasons, which shows that they have maintained strong competitiveness in those years.

Helpful Valencia for three seconds. At the turn of the century, he reached the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons and won two runner-ups.

Of course, Atletico Madrid was also very sad, but Atletico Madrid won the runner-up two times, and it was not connected for a year.

In fact, there are still many teams that can reach the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons in the past 33 years. For example, Manchester United reached the finals in 2008 and 2009 and won a championship. Next is Liverpool, who reached the finals in 2018 and 2019, and both won one championship and one AFC.

So, is there any team that can reach the finals for three consecutive seasons like Real Madrid from 2016 to 2018? Note that the specifications have been reduced. You don’t want to win three consecutive championships like Real Madrid, just reach the finals.

There are, and there are only two.

AC Milan from 1993 to 1995, and Juventus from 1996 to 1998.

At that time, it was the most glorious time in Serie A. The two versions of the Seven Sisters swept the three major cups in Europe. If the Champions League was the Milan era in the late 1980s and early 1990s, then it was Juventus' turn in the mid-1990s.

Milan reached the finals in the first season of the Champions League reform, but unfortunately lost to Marseille and made the opponent a success, as well as the only Big Ear Cup in Ligue 1. But in the following season, Milan shone brightly and severely damaged Barcelona in the final 4:0. Next season, Milan reached the final again but lost to Ajax.

1 wins and 2 losses, such a final winning rate is a bit of a pity. But in the next three seasons, Juventus' Champions League final winning rate replicated Milan, three finals, they only won the first time and lost the next two times. In fact, Juventus is the one with the advantage in these three finals. So it was a bit surprising to lose two finals.

It is worth mentioning that now we often say that Real Madrid is the Galaxy battleship, but in 1998, Real Madrid was relatively a civilian team. At that time, Juventus had a bit of a Galaxy battleship. The team composed of superstars such as Zidane, Piero, and Inzagi could be called a luxurious lineup. And Mijatovic made the final decision and let the luxurious old woman return in a defeat.

In fact, from 2015 to 2017, Juventus almost completed the miracle of reaching the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons. Unfortunately, it was a pity that Bayern ended in the quarterfinals in 2016.

In terms of strength, Milan and Juventus have a chance to complete the three consecutive championships after the Champions League restructuring before Real Madrid. It’s a pity that Milan and Juventus’ UEFA Champions League genes are not as good as Real Madrid. Unfortunately, with the decline of Serie A and the end of Juventus' nine consecutive championships, the glory of reaching the Champions League finals for three consecutive times will not come to Milan and Juventus in a short period of time.
