UEFA Champions League Winners

The UEFA- Union of European Football Association- Champions League is an annual football competition contested by Europe’s top flight league clubs. The competition was established in 1955 where it was known as the Coupe des Clubs Champion Club’s Cup or simply European Cup.

The competition started off as a single knockout tournament for champions of domestic Leagues in Europe. It wasn’t until 1992 that the competition changed its name and adopted a round-robin group stage format.

In the 1997-98 season, the competition expanded, allowing qualification from other European countries, and some even more than one club, competing in a round-robin group stage, which then advanced to double-legged knockout stages and a single leg finals.
