The UEFA champions league. The premier club competition of Europe where the best clubs across the continent battle it out for one title, kings of Europe. Considering all the money that has been poured into the competition and TV revenue, the stature of the clubs and the global fanbase, you can very well say that this is the most sought after tournament of the season. But apart from the global stars who play here, what makes the champions league a standout tournament is it's unpredictability.

Many times we've seen underdog clubs create fairytale like stories here. The big stage is actually full of such stories. Such as Leicester City. We all know how they pulled of the miracle of winning the Premier League back in the 2015/16 season. The next season was their debut champions league campaign. They reached the quarter finals that season. Which is quite the feat for a small club from the midlands of England. Fast forward to this season. Sheriff Tiraspol. The club from Moldova made it's debut champions league campaign this time around. What would you expect from a small time debutant club in this big competition. Very less. But they pulled of one of the greatest upsets by beating Real Madrid by 2 goals to 1. Again a flashback. Ajax Amsterdam. The club has it's heritage. But isn't clearly at the top of the pile. But even so, they are firing under Eric Ten Hag. And 3 seasons ago they reached the semi final with some proper football. Most players of that roster are now in different clubs. Such as Frenkie De Jong, Matthias De Ligt, Hakim Ziyech. Even though they're not there anymore but that story remains.

Over the years, the UEFA champions league has delivered us with matches and campaigns that'll live on through the years in people's lives. Certain games like the 2005 champions league final, or the 2012 champions league final, or the 1999 champions league final. Or the 2016 round of 16 between Barcelona and PSG. They may not be big impacts. But these games and certain campaigns from underdog teams is what makes the champions league special. This is also a big reason why the European Super League got rejected. No matter how much money you make through that league, it will never deliver the same emotions and enthusiasm as the champions league.
