History of the Champions League

The premier European club competition has gone under various guises, both in terms of its name and its format. Before 1992, the competition was a straight knock out called the European Cup, involving only the champion club of the participating nations. Since then, it has expanded and incorporated a league stage, with up to four teams for the top leagues in Europe taking part. Those leagues include the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga.

Champions League Format (qualifying, group stages and the knock out stages)

The UEFA Champions League begins typically at the end of June with four knockout qualifying rounds and a playoff round. The 32 teams that have progresses are then divided into eight groups of four teams. The teams are play both home and away matches against each other. with the top two in each group advancing to the knockout stages where they again play both home and away matches. The winner of the UEFA Champions League will go ahead and proceed to the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
