Cristiano Ronaldo's extraordinary career has helped to raise the profile of Portuguese football in the 21st century, but none of his five UEFA Champions League titles were won with a club from his home nation. Benfica famously broke Spain's monopoly on the European Cup by beating Barcelona in the 1961 final and then Real Madrid in the 1962 decider, and Porto reminded the world of what Portuguese talent could do when they won the 1986/87 European Cup and the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League.
