The squads for Friday's Ultimate Champions Match have been announced with owners of no fewer than 25 UEFA Champions League winners' medals set to feature in the highlight of this year's Champions Festival in Berlin.
The Juve & Barça Legends, coached by Zico, have pulled off a few coups after Fabrizio Ravanelli and Christian Vieri added their names to an already stellar cast. Edwin van der Sar will take his place behind a defence that features Ciro Ferrara, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and the man who lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2011, Éric Abidal.
Four-time winner Clarence Seedorf will also be rolling back the years as he lines up for the World All-Stars. Coaches Ruud Gullit and Peter Schmeichel have plenty of talent besides, including Cafu, Steve McManaman and the winner of our #UltimateChampion competition, Tom Kinstler.
The Ultimate Champions Match takes place at Platz des 18. März in front of the Brandenburg Gate on Friday. The action starts at 17.30CET, with pre-match entertainment provided by the Blue Man Group.
