The Champions League is dead. Long live the Champions League!

When Nigerian striker Daniel Amokachi scored for Club Brugge in November 1992, he ignited not just a match but a revolution—the birth of European football’s new commercial era. Belgian coach Raymond Goethals promptly led Olympique Marseille to claim the inaugural title.

From these origins emerged the world’s premier football league. Broadcast rights now command astronomical sums across continents, shifting football’s epicentre from international tournaments to the Champions League stage, featuring giants like Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.

As a nursery school teacher, Inge worked with the oldest toddlers. For more than thirty years she had been watching closely to see their reactions to different situations. Watching these five-year-olds grow and flourish while listening and talking to them, has made her job very fascinating. In February 2023, Inge was taken with a fatal illness. One of her first reactions was: what about my toddlers? How will I tell them? Inge passed away in March 2024, surrounded by her loving family and friends.
