UEFA champions
league also known as The champions league is the premier European club football
competition held annually. It is a hotly contested tournament in which the
premier teams compete to win the blaze of glory. It was first started in 1955
and has grown from strength to strength. The team which has won the trophy the
maximum number of times has been the Spanish team of Real Madrid. They have
held aloft the prize an unbelievable ten times. Its current holder is another
Spanish team – Barcelona F C.
Interestingly, no
team has managed to win the trophy back to back since the format was changed
way back in 1992. Milan F C was the last team to do was back in 1989-90. For
those who are fans of soccer this is the tournament to look out for on an
annual basis. The best teams and the world’s best players go head to head. Its
fun, it’s exciting and its breath taking. Thanks to satellite TV and
mushrooming of so many sports channels, we in India can watch all the matches
live of the UEFA Champions League. The world is now truly a global village.
The current
trophy is made of silver and weighs a staggering 11 kgs. It was designed by Jörg Stadelmann, a jeweler from
Switzerland. Many of you may know that any team that wins the Champions League
three years in a row or five times overall has the right to keep a full-sized replica of the
trophy on an permanent basis. Do you follow the tournament? Do write in with

The top scorer of
the tournament down the years has been heart breaker Christiano Ronaldo of
Portugal. He has scored a staggering 88 goals in the past 13 years playing for
Manchester united and Real Madrid F C. Close on his heel is Mr Lionel Messi who is
