THE EUROPEAN CUP
Europe's premier club competition was launched one month after UEFA's first Congress, held in Vienna on 2 March 1955 yet, curiously, the so-called "European Cup" was not a UEFA initiative.
The major turning point in the evolution of the competition came in the 1991-92,when the format was changed and the competition renamed The Champions League.
