Champions League history
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) organises the UEFA Champions League, an annual club association football competition for top-division European clubs. It was formerly known as the European Cup, and it is sometimes referred to as UCL.
Winners are determined by a round-robin group stage that sets up a double-leg knockout format and a single leg final. With the exception of the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship, it is the most viewed club competition globally and the third most watched football competition overall.
