The European Cup has represented the holy grail of European club football since its creation in 1956. Developing quickly since it was rebranded as the UEFA Champions League in 1992, it is now acknowledged as the world’s premier football competition, as well as its most lucrative. So what does it really stand for today?

Get to know some of the less likely heroes too - the Croatian reserve striker who put four past the Spanish champions of 2000, the former Motherwell midfielder who became the first Brit to win the Champions League, and the goalkeeper rejected by Liverpool who helped make Spanish provincial underdogs into Champions Cup achievers.
