Score details & methodology

MS: Romanian clubs earned 45 of 64 possible match points (19 wins and 7 draws in 32 matches), using two points for a win and one for a draw.

KP excludes group and unique group stages. Romanian clubs qualified for the next round or won the final in 11 of 15 confirmed knockout encounters against this opposition. Qualification outcomes: 11 qualified / won the final · 4 did not qualify / lost the final.

GO compares the final group / unique group qualification outcomes of Romanian clubs and the opponents they actually faced. It does not mean qualification was decided directly between those two teams.

  • Q · 1 — Romanian club qualified in the same competition; opponent did not (1 per comparison).
How the Success Index and its three measures work

This archive’s Success Index combines KP (40%), MS (20%) and GO (40%). Knockout qualification and group / unique group qualification receive equal weight. KP includes qualifying rounds as well as later knockout rounds; the index does not separately adjust for opponent strength. These are editorial weights, not an official UEFA rating. Only principal competitions are included. Each component is calculated before rounding.

MS = (2 × wins + draws) ÷ (2 × scored matches) × 100. Includes group and unique group matches. Results after extra time count; shoot-out goals do not. Awarded results count in totals, but are excluded from biggest-result records.

KP = successful Romanian qualification outcomes ÷ confirmed knockout encounters × 100. A success means the Romanian club qualified for the next round; in a final, it means the Romanian club won the trophy. Each whole tie or final counts once, including qualification decided by penalties, away goals or an additional match. Group and unique group stages are excluded.

GO = (Q + 0.50 × S + 0.25 × D) ÷ (Q + S + D + N + O) × 100. Q means only the Romanian club qualified in the same competition; S means both qualified there; D means the Romanian club transferred to another competition, regardless of its opponent’s outcome; N means neither continued; O means only the opponent continued. If the Romanian club qualified in the same competition while the opponent transferred, the comparison is Q.

Each Romanian club–opponent comparison counts once per group / unique group phase, regardless of the number of matches. A country total sums those opponent comparisons, not distinct group appearances. Different opponents in a unique group may have faced different schedules. Ongoing and unconfirmed outcomes are excluded. Sample sizes appear beside each score; small samples can produce extreme values. Goals are reported separately.

Deciding momentsAway goals, penalties, extra time and additional matches

All outcomes are from the Romanian club’s perspective: Won means the Romanian club progressed or won the final; Lost means its opponent did. Away goals, shoot-outs and replays count once per tie. The a.e.t. row counts individual matches requiring extra time, including those later decided on penalties. Its Won / Lost columns show the eventual tie or final outcome.

Group / unique group outcomes1 opponent comparisons

Descriptive outcomes, excluded from KP. Advancing and transferring to another competition are distinct. Only opponents actually faced are compared; a group outcome is not a head-to-head qualification decision.
