The UEFA Champions League final (and its predecessor, the European Cup) is traditionally a cagey, high-stakes affair. Managers often prioritise defensive structure over all-out attack, knowing that a single mistake can ruin a year of perfection.
Every so often, however, tactical caution is thrown out the window. Whether due to early defensive collapses, an overwhelming talent disparity, or pure historical magic, some finals turn into absolute goal-fests.
These are the 5 highest-scoring European Cup and Champions League finals of all time.
