UEFA Champions League timeline

  1. UEFA launched the European Champion Clubs' Cup for national league winners, based on a proposal from the French sports paper L'Équipe.
  2. Real Madrid won the first five finals in a row; the 1960 final, a 7–3 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Hampden Park, is still the highest-scoring final.
  3. Manchester United became the first English club to lift the trophy, beating Benfica 4–1 at Wembley.
  4. Liverpool won the first of their six titles in Rome; English clubs then won six finals in a row up to 1982, with Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa joining them.
  5. After the Heysel Stadium disaster at the final in Brussels, English clubs were banned from European competition for five years, Liverpool for six.
  6. The tournament was renamed the UEFA Champions League, with a group stage, a new anthem and centrally sold TV rights.
  7. Entry opened to clubs that finished second in the strongest leagues, ending the champions-only format; later reforms let up to four clubs from one country take part.
  8. Manchester United scored twice in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich in the final in Barcelona.
  9. Real Madrid became the first club to retain the title in the Champions League era, and went on to win three in a row from 2016 to 2018.
  10. A 36-team league phase replaced the 32-team group stage from the 2024–25 season; Real Madrid's 2024 win was its record 15th title.

The business behind UEFA Champions League

  • Organiser: The account belongs to the competition run by UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations, for top-division European clubs.
  • Sponsors: Like the FIFA World Cup, the Champions League is backed by a group of multinational sponsors rather than one main sponsor, and since 2021 regional sponsors appear on the hoardings in broadcasts to specific regions.
  • Prize money: Clubs share the prize money: in 2019–20 winners Bayern Munich were awarded €112.96 million, and runners-up Paris Saint-Germain received €101.3 million in prize money.
