Real Madrid overcame Manchester City on Wednesday night to reach the Champions League final for the 17th time in their history, six more than AC Milan and Bayern Munich, who are tied for second.

Real Madrid will play in their fourth Champions League final in Paris, the city where they won their first European trophy in 1956, lost to Liverpool in 1981, and beat Valencia to win their eighth Champions League trophy.

Let us take a look at the results of their previous 16 finals:
