Champions League is "open" but in the last 13 years, every finalist is in top 15 spenders in wage bills

4 appearances - Madrid (#2 spender), Bayern (4)

3- Barça (1), Man U (4)

2 - L'Pool (7), Chelsea (8), Juve (10), Atletico (11)

1 - PSG (3), BVB (12), Tott (14), Inter (15)
Who ever makes this final will have the same story.

In reality, these 15 clubs are basically are at near parity with each other. They spend wages & transfer fees close together.

Whenever one starts to get dominant others will increase spending to challenge
But if you're out of that top 15 in spending and are looking to break in (without a multi billionaire financier).. well good luck.
