there is no such team as Glasgow rangers. They are known as Rangers, yes they come from Glasgow the same as Celtic. The prefix Glasgow has been added in the media, perhaps for the audience to better understand their origins, but this is not the official name of the football club.

My best guess would have to be to help differentiate them from Queens Park Rangers in England, but that’s a stretch.

I suppose 'best performing' relates to the number of times the team has qualified for the Champions League since six of these have never won it, whilst Nottingham Forest, for example, have won the European Cup twice.

According to the source (which is listed in the caveats), is based on points obtained for Wins-Draws-Loses. As it considers every tournament since ever, every victory gives 2 points.

Nottingham Forest won twice, but they have fallen hard. They aren't even one of the best teams in England, let alone Europe. They got relegated from the Premier League in 1999 and haven't been back since. Hard to claim that you are one of the best all-time teams in the Champions League when you haven't even qualified in decades.

And yet they're one of only 8 teams to retain the European Cup. The tricky trees certainly deserve a special place in European Cup history.

yes but the quiz titles itself as best in the champions league, so by that metric surely aston villa, forest, hamburg and steaua bucuresti should all be above lyon, and whatever other non winners they put on this list. Even Leeds united should be higher than some of these teams since they actually got to a final.

Agreed. There really should be a points bonus for winning it otherwise this is just a list skewed towards efficient losers.

Consistency is the key, if you ask me. Lyon are in the competition pretty often, while Leeds were in the EFL Championship more often than they were in the Champions League. I was surprised to see Marseille not on this list, however. Other notable snubs to me: Valencia, Sevilla, Roma, Napoli, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen. Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen both made finals.

For some reason, Sevilla is much better in the UEFA Cup/Euro League, and Leverkusen didn't qualify for the Champions League before the late 90s. Napoli have two decades going for them (80s and 10s) but they weren't that strong apart from that.

I agree the rankings are silly. They are however UEFA's official rankings based on every game a team has played in the tournament where 2 points are given for a win and 1 for a draw. This does benefit teams with more recent success though since the format was changed to include more teams and more games from 1992 onwards, leaving teams like steaua bucuresti who experienced success before sitting lower on the list, in this case 23rd.

Liverpool has only played 12 more games in the Champions League than Arsenal. They've certainly done a lot more with those games. The way this quiz works is explained at the top: "Based on total points with 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw". Trophy results is a whole other quiz.

Man City are new to the Champions League, first making the competition in its current form in the 2011-12 season. Spurs are also new to the competition, with their first appearance in the 2010-11 competition.

Under the CL banner yes, but Spurs have one other appearance before 2010-11. In 1961-62 they made a run to the Semis, losing to Benfica.
