How to pick a Champions League Immortal
The criteria is simple. To become an Immortal, your legacy with the competition must be permanent and unforgettable.
It’s the Champions League hall of fame, the lifetime achievement award for a select 33 of the greatest footballers in the modern era.
Those 33 players are broken down into positions with three goalkeepers, three right backs, three left backs, six centre backs, nine midfielders and nine forwards to form the shortlist.
From Rio Ferdinand to Owen Hargreaves, our pundits were given the chance to make the case for their Immortals as they talked through some of the greats to grace Europe's top table.
The debate will finally be settled when we ask our pundits and a special guest to work together to come up with BT Sport’s definitive team alongside the fans' XI.
The pundit debate show will air in the run-up to the 2022 Champions League final, as we crown our Immortals.
