The UEFA Champions League's astonishing logo. 

UEFA Champions League is a yearly held soccer competition in Europe. The participating teams are required to qualify first to compete. Some procedures apply for each league. The leagues with a high coefficient get to represent more teams in the competition. For example, the top four spots in the Italian, English, and Spanish league are granted a spot in the group stage. The top three spots in the German league and the top two spots in the French league also get to take part in the organization. The tournament starts in September with 32 teams. After the group stage is completed, the seeded teams move on to the next round which is the round of 16. Starting with a round of 16, there is an elimination process. The round of 16 is followed by the quarter-finals, semi-finals and then the final.

The 2019-2020 Champions League season was delayed in March, mid-way through the round of 16. Only half of the teams in the round of 16 played their games after the league was paused by the officials. The league continued during the summer. The board members made a crucial change in the procedure. Instead of games being played in two legs, one-leg. The games were played in Portugal with empty stadiums.

Germany's FC Bayern Munich made it to the finals along with France's PSG. PSG made it to the finals for the first time in their history. Although FC Bayern Munich were heavy favorites, PSG had high-quality players. The Brazilian player Neymar Jr. is currently the most expensive soccer player in the world. Kylian Mbappe, the French striker is also an important player for PSG.

FC Bayern Munich won the game 1-0. It was a great game as both sides performed their best. Kingsley Coman the French winger scored the goal for FC Bayern Munich. This championship was Bayern Munich's sixth European championship altogether.
