The 2016 –17 UEFA Champions League was the 62nd season of Europe 's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, and the 25th season since it was renamed from the EuropeanChampion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.
The final was played between Juventus and Real Madrid at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. It was the second time that the two teams faced each other in the competition 's decisive match, having previously met in the 1998 final. Real Madrid, the defending 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 do so since Milan in 1990.
Real Madrid qualified as the UEFA representative for the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, and also earned the right to play against the winners of the 2016 –17 UEFA Europa League, Manchester United, in the 2017 UEFA Super Cup.
