Like father, like son; title-winning families

There are many remarkable elements to Leicester City's Premier League title success – not least the presence of Kasper Schmeichel in goal. The 29-year-old Danish international follows in the footsteps of his father Peter, a league champion in England with Manchester United in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999 in addition to his triumphs in Denmark with Brøndby (1987, 1988, 1990) and Portugal with Sporting (2000).

So which other fathers and sons have tasted championship success in European countries? UEFA.com rounds up some of the most significant.
