The 50 greatest Champions League matches of all time: Sportsmail counts down the best-ever games from Europe's elite competition (50-41)

Unless you support Manchester City, there are few sounds in football that excites fans as much as when they hear the Champions League anthem.

Seeing the best players in the world clash for Europe's top sides creates a uniquely special atmosphere and it has resulted in countless dramatic encounters over the competition's 25-year history.

Following the most thrilling series of last-16 matches ever it seems fitting to count down the finest games the competition has produced since the format was changed in 1992.

Sportsmail's first installment includes a goalkeeper scoring a last-minute equaliser, a team winning despite having 11 per cent possession and a game so crazy it prompted calls for a match-fixing investigation.
