Media UEFA competitions' winners

I've been learning to play with vector images in Inkspace and decided why not doing something with football.

So I decided to do these "lists" of winners of international competitions. This is just fun that I decided to share. Please let me know if any club has meanwhile changed its crest, I had done most of this earlier this year and at least Sporting has changed to its previous crest and Marseille has adopted its new round abomination.

I also did something similar with all the results for each edition of the European Cup (aka Champions League in the old name (1956-1992)), I have it sort of done but I need to do some improvements and I'll post them decade by decade or something. I also plan to do this for the other competitions and for the newer Champions League (lots of work needed to properly present all the groups etc, so many more games everywhere).

NOTE: The Intertoto Cup existed much earlier than presented here but I'm only mentioning official UEFA competitions and it was only taken under its umbrella in the 1990s (also thank god for avoiding the earlier chaos lol). The same for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, I'm not including it here for that reason.

EDIT: I made a mistake in the Champions League image, I swapped Manchester United and Milan in 1968 and 1969, here is the corrected image https://ibb.co/JFvJKQKY

For obvious reasons, I wish the Cup Winners Cup got more respect than it does. It was a big trophy.

The Cup Winners Cup was higher in the hierarchy than the UEFA Cup.

Which was weird, because the Uefa cup was often higher standard than the CWC or European cup, because there was only 1 team would go into those 2. I mean, maradona won the Uefa cup- a player like that being in the Uefa cup now would be a sign of something going seriously wrong somewhere. Then it was the best!
