Ryan Giggs tops league table of most decorated Manchester United and Barcelona players in Champions League final

Collectively, the stars of Manchester United and Barcelona have won everything there is to win in football - and plenty more besides.

Indeed for many of those involved at Wembley this weekend, it will be another Champions League final, rather than the Champions League final.

Multiple domestic leagues have been won, international honours have been scooped, age group success preceded senior triumphs - you name it, they've won it.

For example, Ryan Giggs has won 12 Premier League titles. That's more than every other English club put together.

Lionel Messi has picked up 12 major titles, and he's only 23. That's not counting the 17 (yes, 17) major personal gongs that have come his way.

Not content with winning one Champions League medal, Gerard Pique has won two - in consecutive years, with the second coming against the club he won his first with. Confused? It's a wonder Pique knew which way to shoot in Rome in 2009.

And it's not just club honours - the combined list includes World Cups, European Championships, Copa Americas, Under-20 World Cups, plus Under-19 and Under-17 European Championships.
