By Joe Bernstein It’s the toughest and most exclusive Double in world football – winning the Champions League and World Cup in the same year. Since 1992 when the European Cup changed to its current format, only two players have achieved it out of thousands who have tried. Christian Karembeu (Real Madrid and France 1998) and Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid and Brazil, 2002) are the pair who made history, but others will try to take the first step to joining them when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid play in the Champions League final in Lisbon on May 24. Path to glory: Christian Karembeu was part of the France side that beat Brazil 3-0 in the 1998 World Cup final
