The WAGs of the Champions League

The Champions League is the sports world's most exclusive club—a bumping, thumping, invite-only party where the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, and Zlatan are on the guest list every single night. It's glittery, it's glamorous, and there are plenty of golazos, but like any good party, it's the women—an earth-shaking and heartbreaking array of stunning super WAGs—that make the whole thing tick, tick, tick until the clock strikes 90 (plus extra time). Thus, with the 2017 Final nearly upon us and a new season of draws and qualifiers just over the horizon, we decided to pay tribute to the women not behind, but beside the men. Drooling optional. Staring required. These are the WAGs of the Champions League.
