“NBA Playoffs Clear”: NBA Community Gets Hot-Headed as Soccer’s UEFA Champions League Declared ‘Best Competition Ever’

The NBA playoffs are going into the second round, with its first-round almost over for every game. It is in full flow and with playoffs taking the center stage, UCL has entered its semi-final stage. 

The UEFA Champions League is the ultimate European competition and the trophy that probably holds the most importance in soccer after the World Cup itself. Although any trophy is difficult to win at that level, regardless of the sport or competition, the UEFA Champions League is one of the toughest. The best teams in Europe, teams that finish in top spots in their leagues, compete for the ultimate prize. While the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semi-final had an outstanding match, the NBA playoffs have also produced moments to remember.

It was an epic night in Etihad, Manchester. The Champions of England of last season Manchester City won against the potential Champions of Spain of this season, Real Madrid. However, NBA fans were obviously not convinced that the UEFA Champions League is the best spectacle in sports.
