UEFA Champions league is without a doubt one of the most watched and even followed league in the World. Arguably, UEFA is one of the most prestigious leagues in the world. Statistics show that over 100 million people do watch the finals of the league.
For some brief history, you should know that UEFA never used to be referred to what it is today. Prior to 1992, UEFA used to be known as the European Champion Clubs’ Cup. During the earlier times, the championship used to be a knockout event where teams would be eliminated without a return match. However, with time, the need for return matches was evident and this transformed the game to what you see today.
With the Championship having a lot of prestige and monetary gains, it is evident that only the best of the best teams make it to the draw. It is only in such a league that the best of the best teams, and more so; players get to meet. If you love Essien, Drogba, Rooney, Christiano and many more, then this Championship will give you a chance to see them in action. Since the league changed its name, no team has been able to retain the cup. With the season almost starting, we can only hope for more and more of the action.
