The Champions League, which was previously named European Champion Clubs' Cup, was founded in 1955. At that time, only the national champions participated. The new formula, with a round-robin phase, started in 1992. Real Madrid won 9 titles. Milan AC won the competition 7 times, Liverpool 5 times, Bayern München and Ajax Amsterdam 4 times, and finally FC Barcelona and Manchester United 3 times. Europa League replaces UEFA Cup from 2009-2010 season on. It opposes the clubs that won national cups and the best placed teams in their respective championships. This new competition's format is close from the Champions League's. Juventus Turin, Inter Milan and Liverpool won 3 times the former UEFA Cup.
