UEFA Champions League Football

This is a test for picking up the champions of the champions.
Started in 1995, the championship took its current form in 1992. Real Madrid was the first champions, and is top in the list of winners with nine victories. Italian club AC Milan stands close with nine wins. Beating Germany's Bayern Munich, England's Chelsea won last time. Teams winning various European Leagues get into Champions League, and the winner straight away goes to the next round. 76 teams under the aegis of UEFA (Union of European Football Association) take on each other in the championship.
At group stage, the number goes down to 32, and matches including group competitions, pre-quarter final, quarter final, and semi-final come in two legs called 'Home and Away'. Based on win and loss and goal differences, teams enter each round. In the final there is only game, and in case of tally, the winner is decided through tiebreaker.
