**How do you build a Champions League winner? In domestic arenas in Europe, the answer is still "spend more money than other clubs". The teams that have dominated their domestic scene over the past decade – Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and the combination of Barcelona and Real Madrid – have all spent more than their rivals. Their.**

The only team that consistently breaks this rule, with time and time again going in the wrong direction: is Manchester United. Unless you intentionally become silly in "shopping", owning a mountain of money will sooner or later take you to the top of the rankings.

But the Champions League is a very different case. First of all, it is a stadium that gathers all the giants of European football. And second, the knockout stage lasts no more than 7 matches. In a 34- or 38-game season, financial advantage often leads to victory. But what about on a seven-match journey? Randomness and luck will have a greater impact on the outcome, in addition, finishing ability, blocking, individual moments, specific fighting methods, and style of confrontations will also have an influence. has a huge influence on which team will lift the trophy.
So, with the semi-finals of Europe's most prestigious arena about to take place, we will explore a very interesting, very important question: How do you build a Champions champion? League?

## WHAT AGE SHOULD I BUY PEOPLE AT?
What was the average age of the players who started in the Champions League finals in the last 5 years that their teams bought and what was the average transfer fee? Answer: The average age is 22.8 years old, while the average transfer fee is 30.6 million Euros. According to that criterion, the number one model of a suitable way to buy people to serve the goal of conquering the Champions League in this data set is the 30 million Euro deal that Tottenham Hotspur made in 2015 to bring in 23-year-old winger Son Heung-Min from Bayer Leverkusen.

Even the richest clubs in the world will not be able to buy a squad full of superstars who have completely reached the maturity of their careers. To become one of the strongest football teams in the world, you must have deals similar to Son - professional players with the potential to become superstars, thereby ensuring the ability to own at least 1 team. elite-level membership from 11 positions in at least half a decade and makes it easier to focus on building the rest of the roster.

Of course, these averages are only so useful, and the average transfer fee figure can be skewed either lower or higher than the exact figure because of the presence of “players”. graduates” from that club's academy like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thomas Muller, as well as the huge transfer fees of Neymar and Mbappé.

## WHERE SHOULD I "RECALL THE TROOPS" FROM?
We will divide this aspect into 6 separate sources of supply:
- Academy: Players are brought into the first team from the club's academy.
- Superclubs: Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea.
- Champions League: Teams continuously participate in the Champions League arena such as Borussia Dortmund, Tottenham, big Portuguese clubs, Ajax,...
- Big 5: Any other club in the French, Italian, Spanish, English, and German national championships.
- The rest of Europe
-    Americas.

So about 80% of the starting players in the last 5 Champions League finals come from quite traditional scouting areas: the Top 5 leading European national leagues, or the biggest clubs in the Netherlands and Portugal. Portugal. However, there are still another 20% of cases of "recruiting" that go against the norm - players brought into the first team from the club's academy, players whose supply is from smaller tournaments in Europe. Europe, and tournaments outside Europe.

That 20% supply is likely to become even larger in the future. The phenomenon of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at Napoli, the importance of players like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde at Real Madrid, and the fact that Brighton continuously reaps "sweet fruit" from contracts originating outside the EU ( Kaoru Mitoma, Alexis Mac Allister, Julio Enciso, Moises Caicedo) show that there is a wealth of talent waiting to be unearthed outside of traditional markets.

## HOW MUCH SHOULD I SPEND?
If you only calculate the average transfer fee of the starting players in the last 5 Champions League finals, you will not be able to draw a truly accurate number for two reasons: A) PSG has Spending up to 402 million Euros on 2 players, and B) the 2019-2020 season was shortened by COVID-19, helping PSG eliminate the risk of receiving bitter consequences under the weight of the 2-legged structure in the qualifying phase. of the Champions League live – a situation they have found themselves in often.

Below is the average transfer fee that the 7 clubs participating in the last 5 Champions League finals paid for the main players in those matches:
- PSG: 57.8 million euros
- Manchester City: 46.1 million euros
- Chelsea: 31.3 million euros
- Liverpool: 30.1 million euros
- Real Madrid: 27.7 million euros
- Tottenham: 12.1 million euros
- Bayern München: 11 million euros
This is not to say that Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, or even Tottenham have spent sparingly. Madrid paid its players a lot of money after buying them, while Bayern was also willing to pay very generous salaries.

Therefore, the story of strikers serving the goal of winning the Champions League is very simple. To get a striker like that, you have to spend a lot of money – and you have to be ready to do that at an age before you can even be sure he's worth it. If you hesitate too much, you will only be able to watch the Champions League final as a spectator.
