This is some OC shit right here and took a lot of effort to collect. Whoever is on mobile: I'm sorry for the formatting.
What is this? Basically data of CL campaigns throughout the years. Comparing how many CL teams came from Top 5 leagues, how many games a team could play maximum, what the avg goal per game ratio was and of course top scorer. To put all that scoring mania into timeless context.
