The Reasons Why Only 6 Out Of The 23 Teams Can Wear The Champions League Badge
The UEFA Champions League champions from last season, Manchester City, are not yet able to wear many titles on their shirts. In the season 2022–2023 they won their first title. Up to then, they had not won the coveted UCL trophy, even though they had dominated previous championships. Their victory put the club among Europe’s elite and was a major turning point in its history. Fans were keen to see whether they can duplicate their success this time around. However, they lost to Real Madrid in the quarter final this season.
There have been 23 teams to experience the sweet satisfaction of winning the prized trophy in the storied history of the UEFA Champions League. But only a small group of six get to wear the coveted “number of titles” emblem on their shirts. The requirements are severe; a team must to have won the championship at least five times. Greats like Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are members of this exclusive club. But there’s a more illusive route to badge-wearing greatness. The badge may also be earned by a squad that accomplishes the amazing achievement of winning three Champions League championships in a row. Just three teams—Ajax, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid—have achieved this uncommon feat. Every season, teams all around the globe work to leave their mark on history by vying not only for glory but also for the honor of donning that insignia, which denotes their supremacy on the biggest platform in European football.
Barcelona news:
According to a story by Spanish newspaper SPORT, Barcelona, which is interested in Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak, may include Andreas Christensen to sweeten the pot. The Catalan team is interested in Isak, 24 years old, believing he may replace the aging Robert Lewandowski. Christensen, meanwhile, could find himself overkill at Barcelona when Guido Rodriguez arrives. From his free move from Chelsea in 2022, 28-year-old Christensen has been a dependable member of Barcelona. The Danish international has shown flexibility by performing well in a number of roles, most notably holding midfield this season.
Isak, meanwhile, has scored a lot of goals for Newcastle despite sporadic fitness issues. With 24 goals in 38 games, the Swedish striker has drawn interest from top clubs all around Europe. These include Premier League teams. Newcastle’s desire for Christensen coincides with Barcelona’s for Isak. The Danish player is seen by the Magpies to be a useful addition to their team. Guido Rodriguez is expected to sign for Barcelona. This might make Christensen less important and hence disposable in the Catalan team’s perspective.
