Arsenal aiming to join list of unbeaten Champions League winners

Arsenal are yet to taste defeat in the 14 UEFA Champions League matches this season, giving them a chance to join an exclusive list of clubs who have completed a trophy-lifting European campaign without suffering a defeat.

Nine teams have achieved the feat in the Champions League with a further seven managing it in the European Cup era. However, Arsenal's landmark would be particularly impressive as the most matches a side has previously navigated unbeaten is 13 – the minimum number of games to win the competition since the introduction of the inaugural league phase in 2024/25 is 15 and Arsenal would be the first to do it under the current system.

We check out all the unbeaten winners of the competition ahead of this season's showdown between Paris and Arsenal in Budapest on 30 May.
