SAME NAME, SAME place, different stadium.
Since the inauguration of the European Cup in 1956, the final of the top tournament in European club football has been held at London’s Wembley Stadium on five different occasions.

We take a look back at the five finals held under the famous “Twin Towers” on Wembley Way.
