Champions League

League History

The UEFA Champions League, Europe’s premier club football competition, began in 1955 as the European Cup, initially a knockout tournament for top domestic league champions. Rebranded in 1992, it expanded to include group stages and more clubs, including non-champions, boosting its commercial appeal. Real Madrid holds the record with 15 titles, including five straight from 1956-60 and a dominant run in the 2010s. Other powerhouses like AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Barcelona have also claimed multiple titles. Iconic moments include Manchester United’s 1999 last-gasp comeback, Liverpool’s 2005 “Miracle of Istanbul,” and Chelsea’s 2012 penalty shootout win. As of 2025, the competition features 36 teams in a single league format, replacing the traditional group stage, with Manchester City as the reigning champions after their 2023 victory. The Champions League remains the pinnacle of club football, drawing massive global audiences.
