UEFA Corruption League.
"Platini, who was elected president of the European governing body on the back of promises to champion the cause of the smaller countries within the federation in the face of the economically powerful leagues of England, Spain and Italy, has agreed to shelve his plans to involve domestic cup winners in the competition."
Platini's ethos of returning the CL to a true Champions Cup has resulted in Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich:
Since 2009/10:
Making up 4/6 of the winners (66.7%).
Making up 6/12 of the finalists (50%).
Making up 15/24 of the Semi-Finalists (62.5%).
Since his 2007 start:
Making up 5/9 of the winners (55.6%).
Making up 7/18 of the finalists (38.9%).
Making up 17/36 of the Semi-Finalists (47.2%).
Funnily enough, within 2 seasons of him coming in it was game over for the brief English domination, replaced by Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Such a competitive competition, utterly shut out by the same 3 teams.
