UEFA Champions League final matches have delivered some of football’s most memorable moments, and also some of its most lopsided outcomes.

Behold how they stared with so much admiration. See how they held him with so much pride. At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo may no longer be the freak of an athlete he once was, but he remains every bit the clutch, influential player.

Cristiano Ronaldo's time with the Portugal national team is winding down, but the captain continues to make contributions that will linger for much longer after his time is done with the team.

Desire Doue delivered a performance to remember in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, as PSG put five past Inter Milan, becoming the first team to score as many goals in a final since Real Madrid 63 years ago in 1962.

Being a dream club for players comes at a cost, just as deep as the pride they feel playing there, because the belief that they deserve to be at such a club often feeds their egos.
