The Euros or European Championships are about to end and there is now the Uefa Champions League. This has been the club football tournament for several years now, but it is only now that it has finally grown into its very own competitions. The focus is now on national clubs who have struggled to make it and have now had a taste of the financial rewards.
There will be some new faces when the Uefa Champions League begins its run from the first week of November. The likes of AC Milan, Chelsea and Bayern Munich will all be hoping to get past last season’s runners up and set themselves up as challengers. So what do the Euros predict to come out on top?
The fact is that it isn’t hard to see who the favorites will be come the end of the year. So it will be down to the various teams to show some resilience in order to get out of the group stages. There are a number of teams in this competition that can beat anyone in the group stages, but once the main event begins things will really start to heat up.
For fans it will be interesting to compare past seasons to what they can expect in the future. It is also good to remember how teams performed in previous years, as it might help you pick a winner. There are four group stages and four knock out stages. This is a fairly long tournament that was originally intended to last for two years.
There will always be an element of change as the next European champions are always unveiled, but at the end of the year, it will be the same teams who are in this competition who will be contenders. A few years ago this tournament was considered too easy for some, but things have changed dramatically over the last few seasons. This is because there is a greater competition level.
Uefa Champions League has got more competitive in recent years as clubs have been forced to go through to the last stages. If you do some comparison between various seasons then you will see that the teams that came out of the group stages were not so good in the previous campaigns. In this new competition, teams who did well last season should still have a chance to qualify.
It is also good to think about the European football league in other regards. If we look at how well clubs in Manchester have done in the Champions League then you can see how well they have done in the Champions League. It is also encouraging to see that the Europa League is slowly but surely becoming a lot more competitive and allows fans to see where the club are coming from.
The competition will continue to grow and this Champions League will be as successful as ever. It will therefore be the best season yet in terms of quality.
