Summarizing UCL winners and context
I’m looking at when Porto won the UCL in 2004 and defining the top five leagues as England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. Since 2004, teams from these leagues winning include Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid, among others. It’s interesting that after 2004, there hasn't been a winner from outside these leagues. Notably, some teams like AS Monaco and Borussia Dortmund have reached the finals while being in a top league. This context really highlights the strength of the top leagues!Analyzing UCL finalists and context
Since 2004, there have only been three non-top-5 finalists: 2019 Tottenham and 2005 Liverpool versus Milan were both in top leagues. For semifinalists, Ajax in 2019 and PSV in 2005 are notable, while Porto reached the quarterfinals. Monaco also made it to the semifinals in 2017. There are structural reasons behind these outcomes, such as finances and TV money. I wonder if you'd like me to provide a translation, fact-check, or opinion on this!Exploring UCL Winners and Context
I want to confirm the quote about Porto’s 2004 win. Since then, all UCL winners have come from the top five leagues, and the last non-top-5 winners were Ajax in '95, PSV in '88, and Red Star in '91. It's harder for non-top-5 teams now, due to financial gaps and the Champions League format. I wonder which non-top-5 teams, like Benfica and RB Salzburg, could be dark horses? Would you like a quick fact-check or some context on this?
大意属实。
- 事实核对：穆里尼奥带波尔图在2003‑04夺欧冠；自那以后历届冠军全来自五大联赛（英西意德法）。近年冠军：皇家马德里、曼城、拜仁、切尔西、利物浦、巴萨、国米/米兰等。
- 历史对照：五大联赛外上一次夺冠就是波尔图（2004）；更早有阿贾克斯1995、贝尔格莱德红星1991、埃因霍温1988等。
- 原因概览：巨额转播与商业收入拉开财政差距；欧冠赛制与系数/种子位有利强联赛球队；阵容厚度与赛程密度要求更高；人才被顶级联赛早期虹吸。
- 近年最接近的“黑马”：阿贾克斯2018‑19进四强；本菲卡/波尔图/阿贾克斯/埃因霍温偶有强势赛季，但夺冠难度极高。
- 展望：新赛制（36队瑞士轮）和收入分配大概率进一步固化格局，偶发黑马仍可能，但要复制2004式奇迹的门槛更高。
需要我列一张2004年至今欧冠冠军清单，或做个五大/非五大夺冠统计图吗？
