The Champions League final tonight may be a clash between Spanish and German men who hope to steal the show.
Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, 20, and Borussia Dortmund's on-loan Jadon Sancho, 24, will go head to head at Wembley Stadium.
Jude is regarded by many to be the world's best player, while Jadon is rebuilding his confidence with Dortmund after a disappointing start to his Manchester United career.
They became pals when Jude followed Jadon to Dortmund in 2020.
They spent a year together before Jadon's ill-fated £73million move to United. Jude said: "Jadon took me under his wing. He's a really good guy." They are still friends but that will be put on hold tonight...
Victory for Real Madrid would cap a remarkable debut season for Jude, who scored 22 goals and is La Liga's player of the season.
Jude grew up in Stourbridge, in the West Midlands, and he and his brother Jobe inherited their footballing skills from dad Mark, 47, who was a prolific non-league striker.
When Jude was seven, Mark arranged for him to train with Birmingham City academy and he was signed up.
