Julian Alvarez could join this list next month. It's quite the company to keep.
Either Julian Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez will crown phenomenal individual seasons with Champions League glory come June.
A total of 19 players have won the European Cup/Champions League and World Cup or European Championship in the same campaign, featuring in the final of both. Alvarez or Martinez, who replaced the Man City forward as an extra-time substitute in the final against France, are guaranteed to join them. And Alvarez could become the first player to ever achieve this feat while at an English club.
Played every minute of a World Cup run in which West Germany won six of their seven games, losing only to East Germany, before stunning the Netherlands in the final. Kept four clean sheets.Missed most of the first-round tie with Swedish champions Atvidaberg and all of the second-round tie against Dynamo Dresden, but played every minute of the quarter-final, semi-final and final, in which he assisted the opening goal with a delightful through ball.
Played all but 22 minutes of West Germany’s World Cup run, the centre-half being substituted just after the hour mark of the East Germany group-stage defeat. It was 0-0 when Horst-Dieter Hottges replaced the centre-half, with Jurgen Sparwasser scoring nine minutes later.1974: Franz Beckenbauer
