Before then, Wolverhampton Wanderers had been branded the “Champions of the World” - French publication L’Equipe was outraged that this could be the case, so promptly set about creating a new competition. This is the story of how Europe’s premier club tournament came to be. This is the eleventh in a series, written by Jonathan Wilson, exploring the entire history of football. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.
