On November 26, 2019, UEFA revealed its all-time Champions League XI, a team compiled from the players who have made the fans' Team of the Year the most times since the vote began in 2001.
The team features five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who lifted the European Cup four times with Real Madrid and once with Manchester United.
His former Real Madrid team-mates Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas are also in the team, but Los Blancos lose out to Barcelona overall.
There are five current or former Nou Camp stars in the selection, with four-time Barcelona winners Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, and Xavi joined by Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol.
The only English player in the team is Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who helped inspire the Reds' remarkable comeback from 3-0 down to win the 2005 Champions League final on penalties against AC Milan in Istanbul.
Former Arsenal ace Thierry Henry makes up a star-studded forward line along with Messi and Ronaldo.
UEFA's all-time Champions League XI is: Casillas; Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Lahm; Gerrard, Xavi, Iniesta; Ronaldo, Messi, Henry.
