Football quiz time: how's your knowledge when it comes to English players who have ventured overseas?

Many players, including some from Thomas Tuchel's squad currently, play their trade in countries such as Germany and Spain – but this quiz asks you about those in the past who have played for a European Cup/Champions League-winning club since 1992…

It's a difficult one, this. Real Madrid, Milan, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Inter Milan, Juventus, Benfica, Porto, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, Feyenoord, Hamburg, PSV and most recently, Barcelona, have all won the competition in its history – and employed English players since 1992. Steaua Bucharest and Red Star Belgrade have all won it, too, but failed to sign an Englishman during that time. So that's 45 players – and we're giving you a timeframe of just 10 minutes.
