Here Are Some Fun Facts About The Champions League

- Roshan

The UEFA Champions League is an annual club football tournament, and it’s one of the most prestigious club competitions in the world. It was first held in 1955, known then as the European Cup—and in 1992 became known as the Champions League as it is today.

  • Most Titles: Real Madrid has won the most Champions League titles with 15, also having the most final appearances. 

  • Goal King : Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League, with over 140 goals.

  • Fastest Goal in a Final : Paolo Maldini scored just 50 seconds into the 2005 final for AC Milan against Liverpool — the fastest goal in a Champions League final.

  • The Underdog Miracle : In 2004, Porto, managed by a young José Mourinho, stunned Europe by winning the Champions League against all odds.

  • Youngest Player Ever : Celestine Babayaro became the youngest player to appear in the Champions League in 1994 — at 16 years and 87 days old — although he was sent off in that same game!

  • Anthem Power : The iconic Champions League anthem is based on Handel’s Zadok the Priest and is sung in English, German, and French — UEFA’s official languages.

  • Treble Winners : Only a few clubs have won the treble (domestic league, domestic cup, and Champions League) in the same season — including Barcelona (2009 & 2015), Manchester United (1999), Inter Milan (2010), and Manchester City (2023).

  • Biggest Win : The biggest win in a Champions League match? Liverpool beat Be?ikta? 8–0 in 2007 — still the biggest margin in the knockout stages.

  • Champions League Ball : The famous star-patterned ball is custom-designed for each season. Adidas has been the official ball provider since the competition’s rebranding in 1992.

Here’s are some weird laws in Bermuda:

Bermudian citizenship is primarily determined by birthright, meaning a person born in Bermuda to Bermudian parents is considered a citizen.

Individuals without Bermudian status but residing on the island since 1989 can apply for permanent residence certificates, allowing them to stay and work indefinitely, but with limitations like high landowning taxes and no right to vote.

The age of consent for consensual anal intercourse was 18, while for other sexual activities, it was 16. In 2019, a law was enacted to establish a universal age of consent for all consensual sexual conduct at 18.

Line fishing, spearfishing, and lobster diving are prohibited in designated protected areas, according to the Government of Bermuda.

The Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority advises recreational users of small unmanned aircraft (drones) to prioritize safety, says the Government of Bermuda.

Bermuda does not have specific anti-SPAM laws, but the collection and use of personal information for direct marketing are subject to individual rights, according to Appleby.

Bermuda’s legal system is based on the common law system of England and Wales.

Same-sex relationships are legal, and same-sex domestic partnerships are recognized, but same-sex marriages are not allowed, according to the UK government’s travel advice.

Noise regulations exist to prevent disturbances and annoyances, especially outside of certain hours, according to the Summary Offences Amendment Act 2010.
