Nationalities Three clubs have won the European Cup/Champions League fielding teams from a single nationality: Benfica twice won the competition (1961 and 1962) with a team consisting entirely of Portuguese players, although some of them had been born in Portuguese African colonies, then Overseas Provinces of Portugal but now independent nations. Celtic won the competition in 1967 with their entire squad born within a 30-mile radius of Celtic Park, their home ground. Steaua București won in 1986 with a team consisting entirely of players from Romania. Arsenal are believed to be the first club in Champions League history to have fielded 11 players of different nationalities at the same time, in their 2–1 win away at Hamburger SV on 13 September 2006.
