On Sunday David Raya (Arsenal), Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) and Rodri (Manchester City) joined an elite group of Premier League stars to win a UEFA European Championship.
How many PL winners in history?
Since the Premier League started in 1992/93 there have been seven European Championships and a total of 32 players have won the tournament while contracted to a Premier League team. Only one player - Fernando Torres - has lifted the trophy twice as a Premier League player.
Arsenal's Jorginho was the only player from the 103 Premier League representatives at this summer's tournament who could match Torres's record, but Italy were knocked out in the round of 16 by Switzerland.
None of the 27 Premier League players involved in Sunday's final had won it before.
Take a look below at the Premier League's European champions.
