Football superstar Clarence Seedorf and Sophia Makramati in Monaco

The only player to have won the UEFA Champions League with three different teams – Ajax, Real Madrid and AC Milan – Clarence Seedorf considers himself to have a special bond with Europe's premier club competition. "Emotions, memories – more good than bad, fortunately," he once said as he reflected on the competition. "Great moments of entertainment, great football, unforgettable evenings. I think that's what it's all about: experience, emotions and the special touch that the Champions League brings on and off the field."
