Best Champions League Winning Kits Since 2000

Winning the UEFA Champions League is the greatest achievement in club football. As a fan, the only moment sweeter than watching your team lift this trophy is seeing them do it in style.

Since 2000, there have been 25 UCL winners. But in this post, we’ll only rank the 5 with the most iconic football jerseys on the night of the final. These are the best Champions League winners' kits in the 21st century!

Liverpool 2004-05 (Home)

The Liverpool 2004-05 home kit, worn during their iconic "Miracle of Istanbul" victory, was a classic all-red Reebok design featuring a simple v-neck collar and white accents. Trailing 3-0 at halftime against AC Milan, Liverpool clawed their way back to win on penalties. A timeless kit for an unforgettable night.

AC Milan 2006-07 (Away)

Two years after losing to Liverpool in the UCL final, AC Milan had their revenge. They did it with a 2-1 win while sporting their away kit. The AC Milan 2006-07 away kit was created by Adidas and chosen for luck. Its clean white design with subtle red and black accents oozed elegance and class, perfectly matching the Rossoneri’s European pedigree.

Real Madrid 2016-17 (Away)

Madrid’s jersey for the 2017 UCL final had a purple base. Fans weren’t used to seeing the competition’s most successful club lift the trophy in purple—but they loved it all the same. Produced by Adidas, this legendary jersey featured a simplistic crew-neck design and gave the players a fresh urban look. It became iconic as Madrid became the first team in the modern era to successfully defend the Champions League title.

Barcelona 2010-11 (Home)

Few teams have ever played football as beautifully as Barcelona in 2011. Even fewer teams looked as good. Their classic blaugrana stripes, a bold yellow crew-neck collar, and yellow trim on the sleeves thrilled us as we watched one of the greatest shows of footballing excellence. The 3-1 victory over Manchester United at Wembley cemented this kit in football folklore. Pure tiki-taka artistry stitched into fabric.

Bayern Munich 2000-01

The start of the millennium brought one of the cleanest Bayern kits ever made. Worn during their dramatic 2001 final win against Valencia (decided on penalties), this jersey was a classic red Adidas design that represented the team’s footballing principles: simple, traditional, and powerful.
