Ahead of the draw for this season's group stages, relive some of the best Champions League finals.
Since the European Cup was rebranded as the UEFA Champions League, there have been some classic encounters to decide the club kings of the continent. Ahead of Thursday's draw for the 2013/14 group stages, Sky Sports has been reviewing some of the best finals in the competition's past.
Were you a Manchester United fan who watched the incredibly late victory over Bayern Munich to secure the Treble in 1999 in arguably Sir Alex Ferguson's finest hour? Or perhaps Liverpool's epic comeback against AC Milan in 2005 is the standout final in your memory? And what about Chelsea's fairytale against Bayern Munich in Germany in 2012?
But let us not forget about the classic Milan side of 1994, Paul Lambert's midfield heroics for Borussia Dortmund in 1997, or Zinedine Zidane's wonder-goal for Real Madrid in 2002.
We have rounded up some of the best finals from the Champions League era and, here, you can watch the videos and read the reviews along with Martin Tyler's memories.
AC Milan 4 Barcelona 0 - 1993/94
Fabio Capello's AC Milan produced a masterclass to give Johan Cruyff's 'Dream Team' Barcelona a nightmare reality in one of the continent's all-time classics. At the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, Milan produced a huge upset. Two goals from Daniele Massaro set them on their way before a superb, volleyed lob from Man of the Match Dejan Savicevic and Marcel Desailly's clinical fourth.

Ajax 1 AC Milan 0 - 1994/95
Louis van Gaal's young guns at Ajax created a huge shock against Fabio Capello's defending kings of Europe, AC Milan, in Vienna. An 18-year-old Patrick Kluivert won the game for the Dutch side, who had an average age of just 23. The striker's 84th minute goal earned him a place in the record books as the youngest scorer in a Champions League final. The success also marked the peak of the powers of a vintage Ajax before their squad began to move around the continent. To read the full review and find Martin Tyler's memories,

Borussia Dortmund 3 Juventus 1 - 1996/97
The 1997 Champions League final is perhaps best remembered in Britain for Paul Lambert. Sixteen years ago, he was delivering a Man of the Match performance in snuffing out Zinedine Zidane. Borussia Dortmund caused a major surprise by winning the game 3-1. Two goals from Karl-Heinz Riedle and one from 20-year-old Lars Ricken, just 16 seconds after entering the game as a substitute, either side of Alessandro Del Piero's consolation secured the victory.
