    Died for me the day the stopped having only league winners. The final in (I think) 1999, the one with Man U Vs Bayern was unique in that it was the first European Cup final that was contested by 2 clubs that hadn't won their leagues to gain entry.

    I mean FFS it's etched into the trophy, translated from French: European Club Champions Cup. Club Champions, not a few club champions plus several league losers. These days because of the ridiculous amount of teams from England, Spain, Germany and Italy that get in we end up with groups that have more league losers than winners.

    The whole set up wouldn't * me off as much if all the league champions were automatically placed in the group stage and all those win nothing clubs should be the ones have to play qualifiers.
