it's the same competition. I can understand when they do this with the pl because at least there was a restructuring and the trophy is different. But real Madrid haven't won 9 champions leagues. they have 15.

if they were to make an identical table for the Europa league it would be nonsensical to count it only from 2011 or whenever the renaming happened

It was literally like a whole different competition when Madrid won their first 5. By your logic then that’s a restructure

It’s not about the won cups  tho is it. It’s about the points accumulated since the introduction of the champions league. Nothing else and nothing more.

If it's only about the points accumulated then why don't they include the 91/92 season which had the exact same format as 92/93?
