Champions League (Intro)

Trophy For A Champion

   For my blog I will be talking about the 2014 Champions League as well as other things that relate to "Soccer". Thought for this post I will just talk about the Champions league which will last all the way through June 6th. Though from December to June the champions league is over but June 6th is the finals. Anyways, jumping right into it, the Champions league is an annual continental club competition organized by the Union of European Football Assocciation (UEFA). 32 teams are put into eight groups of 4 and play each other in a double round-robin system. The eight group winners and eight runner-ups will go to the knockout phase that results with the final match in whichever date it is set to be on. The winner wins a silver trophy and qualifies for the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup.
