Champions Journal is a quarterly print magazine and website driven by great writing, eye-catching design, engaging interviews and bold photography – and a love of European football.

Our aim is to offer a fresh perspective on club football’s greatest competition. As well as talking to the stars, we aim to take a wider look at the world beyond the 90 minutes – with features exploring the cities, the culture, the fans, the fashion and the music surrounding the game.

In this issue:

We’re down to the business end of the season and how better to savour the knockouts than by celebrating some of the greatest ties this competition has served up down the years. We’ve asked our writers to tell us their top ties – get in touch and let us know yours after taking a trip down memory lane and reliving some of the finest bits of action from seven decades of drama.

Relishing his first taste of the knockout rounds now is teenage Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, who talks to Graham Hunter about life in the fast lane. Also this issue, we learn why the Stadio Olimpico is so dear to the hearts of Roma and Lazio fans, examine the pressures of the game as Jürgen Klopp steps away from Liverpool and give the floor to Ivan Provedel, while Paolo Menicucci speaks to Carlo Ancelotti about the secrets of his longevity.
