One nation with a number of Champions League winning players is Norway. While a number of top class Norwegian players have graced the European game, there has been a very limited number of Asian Players who have won the Champions League.

At the time of writing, there have been six Norwegian football players to win the Champions League trophy. Keep reading to find out which players have won Europe’s top prize.

Another of Manchester United’s Norwegian trio to win the Champions League in 1999 was the man who brought the trophy back to Old Trafford, with a last minute winner.

Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer poked home from Teddy Sheringham’s flick to complete an incredible injury-time turnaround, going from 1-0 down to a 2-1 victory in a matter of minutes.

With that one goal, he quadrupled the amount of Norwegian Champions League winners, and has gone down as a legend for both club and country with his contribution to football.
