Five pairs of brothers have won the title in the Champions League since its inception in 1992/93, two of whom even played together in the same team. This year, two brothers from Paris Saint-Germain could join the ranks of the family heroes, with FC Barcelona awaiting them in the quarter-finals.

From an early age, many football-loving youngsters dream of the biggest thing - the title in the premier league! But very few succeed. Especially not two from the same household. However, five pairs of brothers have managed to lift the trophy since the Champions League was introduced in 1992/93. Two of them together: Frank and Ronald De Boer triumphed with Ajax Amsterdam in 1995, Phil and Gary Neville with Manchester United in 1999.
