Paulo Sousa in action for Juventus

Portuguese defensive midfielder, Paulo Sousa, like Marcel Desailly, won the Europe's elite footballing competition in consecutive years with two different clubs. Sousa began his career playing in Portugal with Benfica and Sporting Club de Portugal, where he made a big impact attracting suitors from all over Europe.

Sousa made his move to Italy to play for Turin giants Juventus, under Marcello Lippi in 1994. After two years at the club and with a Serie A title to his name in 1995, Sousa and Juventus claimed the club's first ever Champions League trophy beating defending champions Ajax on penalties in 1996.

Sousa left Juventus after the triumph and moved to Borussia Dortmund in Germany, to work under Ottmar Hitzfeld. Hitzfeld and Sousa guided the young German team to their first Champions League trophy in 1997, beating the Portuguese player's former employers Juventus in the final.
