UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
The Champions League, begun in 1955,
is Europe's major football championship involving Europe's most successful club teams.
Qualifying teams are placed in a structured draw which results in 8 groups of 4 teams. Group members play each other twice, once at home and once away.
The two most successful teams from each group then move on to the next knockout stage which begins each February leading up to the final in May.
It is a hugely popular championship and, via television coverage, has a worldwide audience of millions.
Real Madrid has been the most successful team in this championship.
Forthcoming UEFA Champions League Finals:
2006 - 2007 Athens MILAN v LIVERPOOL 23 May 2007
2007 - 2008 Moscow
2008 - 2009 Rome
The trophy has to be handed back each year before the new championship takes place . Miniature replicas are awarded to winners for them to keep unless a team wins 3 times in a row, or 5 times in all, when they are allowed to keep the original trophy.
