Portuguese football clubs have entered in official international association football competitions since 1955–56 season, when Sporting took part in the inaugural European Cup (not counting the participation of the Portuguese clubs in the Latin Cup). Sporting's striker João Martins would also make history, as he was the first player ever to score a goal in the European Cup against FK Partizan. Benfica became the first Portuguese club to win the UEFA Champions League, after winning two consecutive titles in 1961 and 1962 breaking the victorious sequence of 5 consecutive titles of Real Madrid. Porto would be the other Portuguese club to conquer the UEFA Champions League, both in 1987 and 2004, and the only Portuguese club to be world champions, after winning the Intercontinental Cup the both times Porto disputed. Porto's European title in 2004 would also be the last title of the UEFA Champions League outside of the Big Five leagues. The only other Portuguese club to win at least a major trophy in Europe is Sporting, who won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1964.

Notes

  • ^a Both União de Leiria and Braga were one of the co-winners of the UEFA Intertoto Cup in the 2007 and 2008 editions, respectively. However, Braga is the only of both that is the overall winner of the competition in the respective edition, as they progressed further than the other Intertoto sides in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup, unlike União de Leiria in the 2007–08 UEFA Cup.
  • ^b Game played in Gera, after visas were denied to the East German players.
  • ^c The play-off match was played in the Bosuilstadion, Antwerp.
  • ^d Despite Peñarol winning on goal difference (1–5) on the aggregate in the first two matches, the goal difference was not counted at the time, and since both teams had won 1 match each, a play-off match was necessary to decide the winner.
  • ^e The play-off match was played in the Estadio Centenario, Montevideo.
