The2016–17 UEFA Champions Leaguewas the 62nd season of Europe's premier clubfootballtournament organised byUEFA,and the 25th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to theUEFA Champions League.

Thefinalwas played betweenJuventusandReal Madridat theMillennium StadiuminCardiff,Wales.[5][6]It was the second time that the two teams faced each other in the competition's decisive match, having previously met in the1998 final.Real Madrid, thedefending champions,beat Juventus 4–1 to win a record-extending 12th title. With this victory, Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defend their title in the Champions League era, and the first to successfully defend a European Cup sinceMilanin1990.

As winners, Real Madrid qualified as the UEFA representative for the2017 FIFA Club World Cupin the United Arab Emirates, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the2016–17 UEFA Europa League,Manchester United,in the2017 UEFA Super Cup,ultimately triumphing in both competitions.

Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 78 teams from 53 of the 55UEFAmember associations were expected to participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League (the exceptions beingLiechtenstein,which did not organise a domestic league, andKosovo,whose participation was not accepted in their first attempt as UEFA members). The association ranking based on theUEFA country coefficientswas used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:[7]

  • Associations 1–3 each had four teams qualify.
  • Associations 4–6 each had three teams qualify.
  • Associations 7–15 each had two teams qualify.
  • Associations 16–54 (except Liechtenstein) each had one team qualify.
  • The winners of the2015–16 UEFA Champions Leagueand2015–16 UEFA Europa Leaguewere each given an additional entry if they did not qualify for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League through their domestic league. Because a maximum of five teams from one association can enter the Champions League, if both the Champions League title holders and the Europa League title holders were from the same top three ranked association and finish outside the top four of their domestic league, the fourth-placed team of their association would be moved to the Europa League.[8]For this season:

Association ranking

[edit]

For the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League, the associations were allocated places according to their 2015UEFA country coefficients,which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2010–11 to 2014–15.[9][10]

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations could have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

Notes

    Kosovo (KOS):Kosovobecame a UEFA member on 3 May 2016.[11]UEFA decided that their domestic champions could participate in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League only if they could meet licensing criteria under article 15 of the UEFA Club Licensing & Financial Fair Play regulations, which would be confirmed following the assessment made by the UEFA administration within the deadline of 31 May 2016.[12]However, Kosovo's entry,Feronikeli(as the champions of the2015–16 Football Superleague of Kosovo), was denied by UEFA in June due to the club failing licensing requirements, and also because the club could not provide a suitable stadium and UEFA did not allow them to play their home matches in a foreign country.[13][14]

New UEFA Champions League Goalkeeper of the Season, Defender of the Season, Midfielder of the Season, and Forward of the Season positional awards were introduced for the 2016–17 season.[51]Votes were cast by coaches of the 32 teams in the group stage, together with 55 journalists selected by theEuropean Sports Media(ESM) group, representing each of UEFA's member associations. The coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own teams. Jury members selected their top three players, with the first receiving five points, the second three and the third one. The shortlist of the top three players were announced on 4 August 2017.[52]The award winners were announced and presented during the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco on 24 August 2017.[53][54]
