The 2005–06 UEFA Champions League was the 51st season of UEFA's premier European club football tournament, the UEFA Champions League and the 14th since it was rebranded from the European Cup in 1992. 74 teams from 50 football associations took part, starting with the first qualifying round played on 12 July 2005.

The final was played on 17 May 2006 at Stade de France, Saint-Denis between Barcelona and Arsenal. In the 18th minute, Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann became the first player to be sent off in a European Cup final. Despite the disadvantage, Sol Campbell gave the English side the lead in the 37th minute. Samuel Eto'o brought Barcelona back on level terms in the 76th minute, before Juliano Belletti scored the winning goal five minutes later.

The defending champions were Liverpool and as they did not qualify by their league position, UEFA gave them special dispensation and allowed them to defend their title from the first qualifying round of the competition. They made the group stage and progressed but were eliminated by Benfica in the first knockout round. From the following season, UEFA reserved a berth in the group stage for the defending champions regardless of their league position.{{cite web |date=10 June 2005 |title=Liverpool allowed to defend title |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind=128/newsId=308644.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070621190250/http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind%3D128/newsId%3D308644.html |archive-date=21 June 2007 |access-date=30 November 2008 |publisher=UEFA}}{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |date=June 10, 2005 |title=Liverpool FC allowed to defend title |url=https://www.uefa.com/newsfiles/308811.pdf |access-date=August 12, 2024 |website=UEFA}}

Association team allocation

A total of 74 teams from 49 of the 52 UEFA member associations participated in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League (the exception being Liechtenstein, which does not organise a domestic league, Andorra and San Marino). The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:{{cite web|url=https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method3/crank2004.html|title=UEFA Country Ranking 2006|access-date=2018-05-22|archive-date=2016-11-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161105161204/https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method3/crank2004.html|url-status=dead}}

  • Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
  • Associations 4–6 each have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 7–15 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 16–50 (except Liechtenstein) each have one team qualify.
  • As the winners of the 2004–05 UEFA Champions League, Liverpool gained entry an additional entry despite not qualifying through their domestic league position. They were entered into the 1st qualifying round.

=Association ranking=

For the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their 2004 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1999–2000 to 2003–04.{{cite web|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2004/index.html|title=Country coefficients 2003/04|website=UEFA|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|access-date=2018-05-22|archive-date=2014-10-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007111918/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/season=2004/index.html|url-status=dead}}

Apart from the allocation based on the country coefficients, associations may have additional teams participating in the Champions League, as noted below:

16 winners from the third qualifying round, 10 champions from countries ranked 1–10, and 6 second-placed teams from countries ranked 1–6 were drawn into 8 groups of 4 teams each. Normally two teams from the same association cannot be drawn in the same group. The only exception is Liverpool because of their abnormal qualification as title holders because not having finished in the top four of the English league, Liverpool were given no "association protection" in the tournament. For the group stage, the only team from the same association they could be drawn with was Chelsea, as the rest were in the same seeding pot.{{Cite news |last=Doyle |first=Paul |date=2005-08-25 |title=Liverpool drawn against Chelsea |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/aug/25/championsleague200506.championsleague1 |access-date=2024-08-11 |work=The Guardian |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}{{Cite web |last=Fletcher |first=Sam |date=2022-11-08 |title=Liverpool and Chelsea were once in same Champions League group after UEFA ruling |url=https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-chelsea-champions-league-group-28438364 |access-date=2024-08-11 |website=Daily Star |language=en}}{{Cite news |date=2005-06-10 |title=Liverpool get in Champions League |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/4613695.stm |access-date=2024-08-11 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}}{{Cite news |date=2005-08-25 |title=Reds and Chelsea in Euro rematch |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4182054.stm |access-date=2024-08-11 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}} The top 2 teams in each group advanced to the Champions League knock-out stage, while the third-placed teams advanced to the Round of 32 in the UEFA Cup.{{Cite web|date=2005-08-25|title=Liverpool drawn against Chelsea|url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/aug/25/championsleague200506.championsleague1|access-date=2021-10-26|website=the Guardian|language=en|archive-date=2023-08-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230827220047/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2005/aug/25/championsleague200506.championsleague1|url-status=live}}
