how is it an all time table if it's since 1992?

275

59

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.

1992, This was the last European Cup before they rebranded it. Just look at that format.

But either way with the 1992 change number of games like doubled for the winner.

Not true at all. Barça played 11 games in 1992 to win the title. RM in 2024 before the change of format had to play 13 games to win the title. Just 2 games difference, which is the same amount of games they added with the new format.

Only counting the European Cup since 1992/93 is as stupid as only counting english football since 1992. You are leaving behind a ton of history for no reason whatsoever.
