Which club won the first UEFA Champions League in the 1992-93 season?

Olympique Marseille won the first UEFA Champions League in the 1992–93 season. They defeated AC Milan 1–0 in the final at Munich’s Olympiastadion, with Basile Boli scoring the winning header just before half-time.

The 1992–93 campaign was the first played under the UEFA Champions League name, following the European Cup’s rebranding. Marseille’s victory also made them the first French club to win Europe’s premier club competition. They finished the tournament unbeaten, overcoming opponents including Rangers, Club Brugge and Milan.

The wording can cause confusion because the competition itself dates back to 1955, when it was called the European Champion Clubs’ Cup. Real Madrid won that inaugural 1955–56 edition. Marseille therefore won the first Champions League-era tournament, not the first edition of the overall European Cup competition.
