ONE of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Jadon Sancho will join an exclusive list of just TWO other English players when they win the Champions League.

Sancho, 24, sealed his spot in the Wembley final on Tuesday night after Borussia Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate.

They will face either Kane's Bayern Munich or Bellingham's Real Madrid on June 1.

The two European giants face off in the second leg of their semi-final at the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening after drawing 2-2 in Munich last week.

With PSG being eliminated, it means an English player will win the Champions League with a foreign club this season.

That has only ever been achieved by two players in the past.

Bizarrely, they also happened in successive years.

Steve McManaman lifted the Champions League with Real Madrid in 2000, scoring in the final as they claimed a 3-0 win over Valencia.

Then, 12 months later, a young Owen Hargreaves managed the same feat with Bayern Munich at the age of just 20.

Again beating Valencia, Hargreaves started the final alongside Germany legend Stefan Effenberg.

McManaman then won the Champions League for a second time in 2002 as Real Madrid beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 courtesy of Zinedine Zidane's famous volley.

Kane, 30, who has 44 goals in 44 games for Bayern this season, is still searching for the first major trophy of his career.

Fellow former Tottenham star and countryman Eric Dier is also in the hunt at Bayern.

Bellingham, 20, has already clinched the LaLiga title and Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid this season - a debut campaign that has seen him score 22 times in 38 matches.

Sancho returned to Dortmund for a second spell on loan in January after a spat with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

He has produced five goal contributions for the Bundesliga side and was sensational in the first leg of their semi-final against PSG.

And Dortmund youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who has represented England up to Under-21 level, could join Sancho in winning the Champions League.
