Still the top-scoring Mexican in UEFA club competitions, Hugo Sánchez sparkled for Atlético de Madrid and then Real Madrid, where he won the UEFA Cup in 1985/86. Trinidad and Tobago's Dwight Yorke became the first player from the Caribbean to win the UEFA Champions League when Manchester United won the trophy in 1998/99, while the United States and Canada (once footballing backwaters) now send plenty of talent to the world's top clubs.
