aris St-Germain play Bayern Munich in the Champions League final on Sunday.

Could it join the list of great showpieces in the competition?

BBC Sport has picked 10 of the most iconic finals to date - which has meant some classic games didn't make the cut. Read through them all and pick which one you think was best at the bottom.

The Karius/Bale final

Gareth Bale is the only player to come on as a substitute and score twice in a European Cup or Champions League final

Real Madrid 3-1 Liverpool (2018, Kiev)

Whether you remember this game as the Loris Karius or Gareth Bale final probably depends on whether you are a glass half full or half empty person (or whether you support Liverpool or Real Madrid...)

Liverpool keeper Karius - who has not played for the club since - threw the ball directly off Karim Benzema and was helpless as it rolled in for the opening goal.

Sadio Mane equalised but Bale came off the bench and, two minutes later, scored a stunning bicycle kick. And there was still time for a second Bale goal and Karius error as the German fumbled in the Wales forward's long-range shot.

Brilliant Barca complete treble

Juventus 1-3 Barcelona (2015, Berlin)

Barcelona claimed their third Champions League in six years when they beat Juventus

A great Barcelona performance against Juventus in the Spanish giants' most recent Champions League win.

Ivan Rakitic put Barca ahead after a fine passing move before Alvaro Morata scrambled home an equaliser.

Luis Suarez put the Nou Camp side back in front after Gianluigi Buffon failed to hold Lionel Messi's shot and Neymar added a third with the last kick of the match.

That sealed the treble in Luis Enrique's first season in charge.

Atleti heartbreak in first derby final

This defeat started a four-year run of Real Madrid knocking Atletico Madrid out of the Champions League or beating them in the final

Atletico were seconds away from a truly great season. A week after Diego Godin's goal against Barcelona won them the La Liga title, the defender's goal against city rivals Real Madrid looked set to seal the Champions League too.

But Sergio Ramos' injury-time header sent the final to extra time, with Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in the final 10 minutes to give Real their 10th European Cup.

The Drogba final

Didier Drogba's goal against Bayern was his ninth goal in nine cup finals for Chelsea

Chelsea 1-1 Bayern Munich, 4-3 on penalties (2012, Munich)

It is hard to imagine a more perfect farewell to a club than Didier Drogba's for Chelsea in the 2012 Champions League final.

'Hosts' Bayern Munich looked set for victory through Thomas Muller's goal before Drogba's 88th-minute header forced extra time.

Drogba - with his last kick before leaving the Blues - scored the
