By Unai Sánchez


The Champions League is the most important football competition in the world after the World Cup. It is played between European countries and the four best four teams from each country take part. This year the final of the Champions League will be played at Wembley Stadium on May 28th. Barça will play against FC Shakhtar Donetsk on April 3rd and will probably play in the semifinal against R. Madrid.

The first Champions League took place in 1955. The cup that is given to the winner of the competition has had two different designs throughout its history. The first one was awarded from the first season (1955-1956) until the1965-1966 season. The trophy was replaced by a silver cup designed by the Swiss Jörg Stadelmann for the 1966-1967 season. This cup is also known as the "romaine", because of its large handle.
