Some find success sweet but fleeting, others spend years building to the pinnacle, and then there are those whose lasting glory evolves into a dynasty. Paris St-Germain begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday hoping to enter that bracket, attempting to become continental champions for a third successive season.

To mark this, we're looking at how the Parisians compare to those clubs who have enjoyed the most dominant eras in European competition. Some will point out that football existed before the European Champion Clubs' Cup began in 1955 - so apologies to Stan Cullis' 'world-champion' Wolves outfit and the Mitropa Cup's early Vienna heavyweights.

• 10. Paris St-Germain 2024- OK, straight in with the current champions, because this is a dynasty in the making. PSG have had a lacklustre start to the season - they always do this, don't they?
