International football competition

The 2024–22 UEFA Champions League was the 67th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA, 💸 and the 30th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid 💸 defeated Liverpool 1–0 in the final, which was played at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, for a record-extending 💸 14th European Cup title, and their fifth in nine years.[3] It was originally scheduled to be played at the Allianz 💸 Arena in Munich, Germany.[4] However, due to the postponement and relocation of the 2024 final, the hosts were shifted back 💸 a year, with Saint Petersburg scheduled to host the 2024 final.[5] Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine which commenced 💸 in February 2024, the final was eventually moved to Saint-Denis.[4] As the winners, Real Madrid automatically qualified for the 2024–23 💸 UEFA Champions League group stage, as well as earning the right to play against the winners of the 2024–22 UEFA 💸 Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt, in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup and participate in the 2024 FIFA Club World Cup, both 💸 of which they went on to win.

Chelsea were the defending champions, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by eventual 💸 winners Real Madrid.

This season was the first since 1999–2000 (the first season after the dissolution of the UEFA Cup Winners' 💸 Cup) where three major European club competitions (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and the newly created UEFA Europa Conference 💸 League) are organised by UEFA. No changes were made to the format of the Champions League, but teams that were 💸 eliminated from the preliminary round and first qualifying round of the Champions League were now transferred to the Europa Conference 💸 League instead of the Europa League.[6]
