The UEFA Champions League may be a European tournament, but it is almost as international an affair as the World Cup.

There will be 12 players who have appeared for Spain, including five players who helped La Roja win both the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012—Cesc Fàbregas, Pedro Rodríguez, Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets, and Andrés Iniesta. Jordi Alba was at Euro 2012 as well.
