The UEFA Champions League, representing the highest honor and standard of club football in Europe, is considered the most prestigious and influential club football competition in the world, and is also one of the sporting events with the highest prize money in the world.

According to incomplete statistics, since the restructuring of the 1992 season, more than one billion TV viewers have watched each event through televises, and this number is increasing every year.

After the restructuring, there will be three qualifying rounds before the main match of the Champions League, as well as a final round of play-offs to determine the qualification of the teams participating in the main competition.

The first qualifying round is dominated by the lowest league champions, with 37 teams remaining after the first round.

In the second round of qualifying, 17 qualifying places will be determined to advance to the third round.

After adding 3 teams to the third round of qualifying, 10 teams will be selected to advance to the play-offs.

Monaco, as the third place in Ligue 1, will directly enter the third round of qualification according to the rules of the competition system, with a total of 10 teams divided into five pairs for the knockout round.

The five winners then enter the play-offs with the fourth-placed Football Associations ranked 1st to 3rd in the European Premier League and the third-placed Football Associations ranked 4th to 5th. The 10 teams are also divided into five pairs for the knockout rounds, with the final five winners progressing to the Champions League group stage, commonly known as the main stage.

Monaco and Fenerbahce will face off against each other in the third round of Champions League qualification, as they will face off for a place in the play-offs.

In addition to the huge accolades, the real financial reasons - high prize money - are also the reasons why all the top European clubs put the Champions League at the top of their minds.

In addition to the ticket purchase and TV share of the qualifying round, all clubs that make it to the main tournament will receive a minimum of 4 million euros in prize money.

As the game progresses, each group stage win will get another 800,000, and a draw will have another 400,000.

Winners of the group stage will receive an additional €4.8 million in prize money. Each team that makes it to the round of 16 gets another 3 million, the top 8 has another 3.3 million, and the top 4 has 4.2 million.

The share of the broadcast fee depends on the share of television broadcasts in each team's country, and in general, the team that reaches the Champions League final will receive no less than 50 million euros.

Therefore, the European Champions Cup not only represents a huge honor, but also a huge benefit for a club.

Therefore, in recent years, the mature competition system and bonus distribution mechanism have enabled some "regulars" of the Champions League to achieve a virtuous circle of fame and fortune.

When high-level players change their goals, they generally use whether the new club can participate in the Champions League as an important basis for personal selection.

While in London, Yaldim told Li Liang frankly that if he performed well enough, he would definitely put Li Liang into his plans for next season, including the Champions League, of course.

The return from Switzerland to La Tubi's base was an intense and meticulous preparation for Monaco's Champions League qualification.

Like his teammates, Li Liang is training and preparing with all his might, and he is determined to put his best foot forward with his teammates in a fight against Turkish giant Fenerbahce.

During these 10 days, Yaldim and his assistants almost never left Latubi.

Thanks to Vasilyev's efficient efforts, all the important signings for the new season have been completed, and the four big players who participated in the European Championship have returned to the base on time. Mbappe, who had just won the European Youth Championship for France Under-19s, also returned to the team ahead of schedule.

But what made Jardim anxious was that because he did not participate in the training camp, except for Bernardo Silva, the other four of the five did not recover very well.

After weighing the performances of his squad during the summer training in Switzerland, Jardim had to start with the newly signed 39-year-old veteran Italian goalkeeper Mogan DeSanctis.

At the back, apart from the decision to partner Brazilian centre-back Jemelson Nascimento and veteran centre-back Rajhi, two of the best performers in the warm-up game, Edouard Mendy and Sidibi, also continued to start.

Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho continued to play in the middle, with Lemar and Dillard on either flank, and Falcao and Germain up front.

As for Li Liang, Yaldim pondered for a long time, and couldn't make up his mind whether to put him on the substitute list.

In terms of performance in Switzerland alone, being selected for the 25-man squad is a reward that Li Liang deserves, but what Yildim is most worried about - whether Li Liang, who has played brilliantly in various friendly matches and warm-up matches, can withstand this test of life and death?

In the end, thinking of Li Liang's most impressive trait, Yaldim gritted his teeth and made a choice.

……

It wasn't until the moment he left the locker room that he heard the deafening roar of more than 50,000 Turkish fans at the magnificent Saraggio Stadium, and Li Liang was finally convinced that this time, he really didn't dream again.

It was all so true, having been named in the 25-man squad for Champions League qualifying and then being dropped into the 18-man squad by Yildim as one of the seven substitutes.

Listening to the huge cheers and cheers of the fans, Li Liang trembled all over his body - he was not nervous, nor was he afraid at all, and the atmosphere of the scene that was about to break out before the big battle deeply shocked him.

The Saraggio Stadium, decorated with flags and huge posters, suddenly fell silent, and the DJ announced that the game was about to start, and the stadium began to reverberate with the huge, majestic song "Champions League", and more than 50,000 fans began to sing loudly at the same time.

Since the domestic TV station began to broadcast the Champions League matches, this adaptation of the British king's coronation ode "Pastor Zadok" Champions League theme song has been well-known to thousands of Chinese fans with the opening before each live broadcast, accompanying advertisements and various highlights and special programs.

Listening to the melody that he was no longer familiar with, the back of Li Liang's neck began to tingle strongly as if he had been electrocuted, and his hair stood almost on end—his blood was boiling again!

It's as if he's gone back in time – since his university days, he's often stayed up late in Internet cafes or screening rooms to watch the Champions League live.

After work, I lived alone in Haicheng, and I can't remember how many late nights I sat in front of the TV or computer with cigarettes, beer, instant noodles, mustard and boiled eggs, and watched the wonderful Champions League matchups one after another.

As a spectator, he witnessed Inter Milan's stunning performance at the Bernabeu; Saw Chelsea use their iron will to snatch the final victory from the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich; We also saw the Madrid derby at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, where Atletico Madrid fell short in the final moments......

How many matchups at the highest level are still fresh in my mind.

The former self, the one who was addicted to the Internet and games, the old boy who was a little humble and a little cowardly in the forest in the reinforced concrete city every day, and the one who only became a wild giant in his own world at night, actually insisted on coming here?!

Is this the best club competition in the world, the UEFA Champions League? My name is Li Liang, and I'm here!
