The city of Milan, Italy, is the only one that won the Champions Cup with two different teams: Internazionale and Milan (the two clubs have won ten cups in total) and therefore being the most successful city in the history of the tournament.
The city of London, England, is one of four cities only that has been represented by more than one team in the final of the European Cup/Champions League and lost on each occasion (Arsenal in 2006 and Chelsea in 2008), other cities include Milan, Madrid, Belgrade.
Madrid, Spain, has also been represented by two clubs in 13 Champions Cup finals, with nine wins (1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966, 1998, 2000, 2002) and three losses (1962, 1964, 1981), for Real Madrid, and one loss for Atlético Madrid in 1974.
Belgrade, Serbia, has also been represented by two clubs in the Champions Cup final, with one win, for Red Star Belgrade in 1991, and a loss for Partizan in 1966.
Athens (Greece) and London (England) are the only cities that have been represented in the group stage by three teams in the same season: Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens in 2003–04; and Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur in 2010–11 respectively.
England is the only country with teams who have won the Cup from four different cities:
Manchester, Manchester United
Liverpool, Liverpool
Nottingham, Nottingham Forest
Birmingham, Aston Villa
Only four derbies between teams of the same city have ever been played:
1958–59 Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid (semi-final)
2002–03 Internazionale vs Milan (semi-final)
2003–04 Chelsea vs Arsenal (quarter-final)
2004–05 Internazionale vs Milan (quarter-final) - the second leg was abandoned because of disturbances among the Inter fans.
The 2002–03 semi-final between bitter city rivals Milan and Internazionale Milano was the first time both games of a two-legged tie were played in the same stadium (San Siro). The teams share the stadium as their home venue. Milan won by the "away goals" rule. The teams also played each other in the same stadium in the 2004–05 quarter-final.

Man Utd didn't make it to the 2009 FA Cup Final, which was actually between Chelsea and Everton.

Roy Keane is one of those on 13 red cards. I think the record for anyone who was ever played in England is held by Tomáš Řepka (Czech Republic) who has 17, although only 4 of those were when he played for West Ham.

The top 10 European Cup/Champions League winning managers
1. Bob Paisley
Paisley, the former Liverpool manager who led the team for nine seasons, secured the club their first European Cup, and remains the only coach in history to take his side to three European Cup wins (1977, 1978 and 1981).
2. José Villalonga Llorente
Llorente won the European Cup twice, both times with Real Madrid. He was the first manager to win the trophy, in 1956, and at 36 years and 184 days, he remains to date the youngest coach to win the competition.
3. Brian Clough
The Nottingham Forest manager won the European Cup twice, in 1979 and 1980 – a feat that is considered by many to be one of the most impressive in the competition's history considering the status of the side he was managing.
4. Helenio Herrera
Herrera won the competition twice with Inter Milan, in 1964 and 1965. He was one of the first managers to call the support of the "12th man", and left a lasting legacy: when fans look back to the club in the 1960s they still refer to it as Herrera's Inter.
5. Sir Alex Ferguson
Ferguson is generally considered one of the finest managers of all time. The Manchester United manager has won the Champions League twice, the first of which was in 1999, and most recently in 2008. Ferguson could join Paisley as the only managers to win the competition on more than on two occasions.
6. Vicente del Bosque
Del Bosque coached Real Madrid from 1999–2003, the most successful spell in the club's modern history. He won the Champions League with Real twice, and finished in the last four of the competition every season he was in charge.
7. Arrigo Sacchi
Before becoming a football coach Sacchi was a shoe salesman, making his consecutive wins in 1989 and 1990 with AC Milan all the more impressive. He was appointed manager of Real Madrid as a result, but was not as successful in Spain.
8. Carlo Ancelotti
The Italian Ferguson, Ancelotti has won the Champions League twice, in 2003 and 2007, on both occasions with AC Milan. He is also one of only five men to have won the competition as both a player and manager.
9. Ottmar Hitzfeld and Ernst Happel
Hitzfeld, or 'der General' as he is sometimes known, and Happel are the only managers in the competition's history to win with two different teams. Hitzfeld guided Borussia Dortmund to the title in 1997, and Bayern Munich in 2001, while Happel took Feyenoord to the trophy in 1970 and Hamburg in 1983.
10. Luis Carniglia
This Argentine took Real Madrid to the final of the European Cup twice, winning in both 1958, with a 3-2 win over AC Milan, and in 1959, with a 2-0 win over Reims. However, he was sacked for leaving Ferenc Puskás out of the side in the win over the French side.

Yes i know There's no Jose Mourinho on the list who has won it twice with 2 clubs, but this was a quick c&p job from March 09 & i couldn't be arsed to change it.

admin's definitely got his boxing gloves on in this thread
