7 English Players Playing Abroad Who Faced Domestic Opposition in the Champions League

Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho joined an exclusive Champions League club this week, as he became the seventh Englishman in history to line up against an English opponent while playing for a team from abroad.

The 18-year-old's rise to stardom has accelerated in recent months following a sensational start to the Bundesliga campaign, with Sancho's continued impressive form earning him plaudits from all around the country, as well as international recognition in Gareth Southgate's England setup.

His side may have been outclassed by Tottenham at Wembley, but Sancho did join an elite group of players to play against English opposition in European football's premier competition.
