Champions League Winner 2022 Predictions and Betting Odds

• The Champions League is the most prestigious tournament in European soccer
• Thirty-two teams entered the group stage of the competition in September
• Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are among the favorites

The Champions League is the biggest club competition in soccer. Launched in 1955 as the European Cup, it has been held on an annual basis ever since.

Until 1992, the European Cup was a straight knockout tournament that featured only the champions of domestic leagues. It underwent a rebrand in 1992, becoming known as the Champions League. A year earlier, a group stage had been introduced for the first time, although it was originally used as the last phase before the final.

The Champions League is the pinnacle of the European club game. The World Cup might still have more prestige, but the Champions League is widely considered to be home to the highest-quality soccer on the planet.
