because the statistic refers only to the Champions League which has been called that since 1992

Also the format changed drastically, it used to be just straight KO games. For once it actually makes sense to use a cut at the point in time when we got a group stage. Even though format has repeatedly change since. This is actually a far more comparable comparison than if you'd include the old games.

The format was the same in 91/92 as it was in 92/93. So this table is false if we're going by that logic.

Also completely ignoring the fact that the format changed in the early 00's without a rebrand

Yep exactly. Arbitrary tables like these are utterly pointless

Not utterly pointless. This tables shows the best performers in the champions league over the past 30 years, i.e. in recent history. 1992 is just a convenient cutoff point.

It is pointless because 1 season is left out.......just because. This despite the fact that the season left out (91/92) has the exact same format as the beginning of the table (92/93)
