Where are they now: Real Madrid's 2002 Champions League winning squad

RB: Michel Salgado

Salgado had a brief spell in England with Blackburn

Salgado is probably the best Spanish right-back of all time. He had 10 immensely successful seasons at Madrid where he won four La Liga titles and two Champions League titles.

He started the final against Leverkusen, playing the full 90 minutes. Salgado made 52 appearances for the first team throughout that season, the most of any player.

As his place in the starting lineup was soon taken by Pepe and Sergio Ramos, he joined Blackburn Rovers in 2009, spending three seasons in England before retiring at the end of the 2011/12 season.

At the age of 40, he briefly played in the Indian Futsal League for Kochi 5's. He also recently admitted in an interview that a management career was a possibility in the future.

CB: Fernando Hierro

Fernando Hierro was one of Real's most iconic players in the '90s

Hierro came through Malaga's academy and represented Valladolid briefly before joining Real in 1989. In a career spanning 14 full seasons at the Spanish capital, he was almost always the first choice for both Real and Spain.

He captained his team in the final at Glasgow. Perhaps more notably, he scored a hat-trick in the league against Real Zaragoza, but couldn't inspire his team to the league title, missing out to eventual champions Valencia.

Like Salgado, he ended his career in England with Bolton Wanderers, retiring in 2005. He had a brief spell as director of football at his boyhood club Malaga. He was also an assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti during the Italian's tenure at Madrid.

His first major managerial role came with Real Oviedo in the second division, but he departed at the end of the 2017 season by mutual consent after missing a promotion playoff.

CB: Ivan Helguera

Helguera was a versatile centre back/defensive midfielder who played in both positions for the Los Blancos after signing from Espanyol in 1999.

He was instrumental for them in their victorious Champions League campaigns in 2000 and 2002, playing in both the finals against Valencia and Leverkusen.

With 47 caps for Spain, he was an important part of the national defensive setup along with club teammate Hierro. He later became the second choice towards the end of his spell in Madrid, eventually joining Valencia in 2007.

He was an important player there in his debut season, but his contract was cancelled subsequently after just one season. In spite of rumoured interest from LA Galaxy, he retired from football in 2009.

LB: Roberto Carlos

Roberto Carlos scored quite a few physics-defying goals in his career

At that point in time, Real probably had the two best fullbacks in the world rampaging up and down the flanks for them.

2002 was an eventful year for Roberto Carlos - barely a month and a half after lifting the Champions League, he helped Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the World Cup final.

After Raul equalised for Real following Lucio's opener for Leverkusen, Roberto Carlos flicked the ball over his head to Zidane at the edge of the box, who buried a ferocious volley in what is considered as one of the best Champions League goals of all time.

After leaving Madrid in 2007, he had spells at Fenerbahce, Corinthians and Anzhi. Even though he retired in 2012, he briefly returned as a player-manager for Delhi Dynamos in 2015, but it was later confirmed that he wouldn't return for the 2016 season.
