Buzz takes a closer look at which players have won the European Cup/Champions League at least five times.

The Champions League is widely regarded as the most prestigious club football tournament in the world and has been an annual event on the continent since 1955.

Those who are often regarded as the greatest players ever to play the game have at least one of these winners’ medals tucked away in their trophy cabinet.

Some though, have hogged the limelight in this competition, winning multiple titles and truly dominating their era of the game in Europe.

Ahead of the 2025 final, which will see Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan lock horns in Munich, and crown another squad full of winners, Buzz takes a closer look at which players have won the European Cup/Champions League at least five times.
