Champions League Betting

The UEFA Champions League, or simply Champions League, is Europe’s premier football competition involving club teams. The tournament pits the top teams from around Europe against one another in a season-long competition that begins with qualifying rounds, is followed by the group stages and concludes with two-legged knockout rounds.

The Champions League was founded in its current format in 1992, taking the place of its predecessor the European Cup. The winner of the Champions League is widely regarded as the best team in Europe and goes on to represent UEFA at the FIFA Club World Cup each year.

The Champions League final is the most watched annual sporting event, drawing over 145 million television viewers. A total of 21 clubs have won the title throughout its history. Reald Madrid are the competition’s most successful club having lifted the trophy on nine separate occasions; AC Milan have won the title seven times.
