List of UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores winning players

This is a list of association footballers who have been recognised as part of a winning squad in both the UEFA Champions League (including under its former name, the European Cup) and the equivalent in South America, the Copa Libertadores during their career. Some players have received medals without playing in the final match: either for being unused substitutes, or, more recently, for being in the squad in earlier rounds of the tournament. Below is a list of players who have won both competitions.

The list includes eleven players (at the end of year 2019), all of whom are originally from Brazil or Argentina before moving to a European club, and in most cases (seven of the ten) their Libertadores win preceded their move across the Atlantic Ocean where their successes included the Champions League. The most recent addition is Rafinha, who won the 2019 Copa Libertadores after returning from Europe, which Juan Pablo Sorín and Ronaldinho also achieved.[1]
