First of all, the Champions League
The Champions League is an annual football competition hosted by union of european football associations, which represents the highest level and honor of European club football. It is recognized as the most influential and highest-level club event in the world, and it is also one of the highest prize-winning football and sports events in the world.
The European Champions Cup, 1992 was renamed. Although the Champions League has been revised many times, the records since the establishment of the tournament have never been counted separately, and the old name of "European Club Champions Cup" still remains on the championship trophy. Twenty-two clubs have won the Champions League, among which Real Madrid won the most, followed by AC Milan seven times, Bayern Munich and Liverpool six times, Barcelona five times and Ajax four times.
Second, the introduction of competition system.
The Champions League is divided into three parts, namely, the qualifying stage, the play-off stage and the race stage. The qualifying stage includes the preliminary round, the first round, the second round and the third round. Champions League qualifiers and Champions League play-offs are mainly two rounds of away games. The second round of preliminaries, the third round of preliminaries and play-offs are divided into "the road to the championship" and "the road to the league".
A total of 32 teams participated in the group competition, which was divided into 8 groups with 4 teams in each group. The top two players in the group stage entered the knockout stage, and the third player participated in the European League knockout play-offs. 1/8 finals, 1/4 finals, semi-finals are mainly two rounds away. The finals were held in a neutral venue, and there were no three or four competitions. If the two sides draw at the end of the 90-minute regular time, they will enter 30-minute overtime, and if the overtime is still undecided, they will enter a penalty shootout.
Third, the rules of the Champions League competition system.
There will be four teams in the Super League, and each team has four teams. Each team will play three home and away round robin games. The top two teams will advance to the quarter-finals and continue to compete for the glory of the Champions League. In the 2024 Champions League season, there will also be elimination matches. It is no longer the traditional double transformation, but will adopt the way of single-game decisive victory. This will increase the tension and suspense of the game and make every game more enjoyable.
In the first round of elimination, the top eight teams draw lots to decide the top four and then play a single game. The next 1/4 finals, semi-finals and finals are also decided by one game. This means that the team must show its best in a short time to win.
