No club has ever retained the Champions League in its current format. If however you mean the first European Cup which was in the 1955/56 season, that was won by Real Madrid, who would then go on to win it another 4 times in a row. Making them the only team in history to win 5 in a row. They have since won another 4 and hold the record with a total of 9.
