10 Legends who never won the UEFA Champions League #10 Ruud van Nistelrooy It is very weird to have Nistelrooy in this list. The Dutch striker has dominated in the Champions League which has seen him become the fourth highest goal scorer in Champions League history with 56 goals. #9 Pavel Nedved Nedvěd was one of the greatest players to step on to a football pitch. The Czech Republic midfielder won several titles in the Czech League and then in the Serie A with Lazio and Juventus. #8 Francesco Totti Totti is well known for being one of the most loyal one–club men and one of the finest players of this era. #7 Gianluigi Buffon Another Italian legend who has never won the Champions League is Juventus goalkeeper, who also keeps for the Italian national team, Gianluigi Buffon. #6 Zlatan Ibrahimovic The Swedish striker has played for a number of top clubs in Europe in his career – Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan and now Paris SaintSt Germain #5 Michael Ballack The Germany international is arguably the most unlucky player in football. A world renowned central midfielder who has won the German Footballer of the Year award thrice, he has come second best with both club and country a number of times; be it the Bundesliga, the Premier League, the World Cup or the Euro Championship. #4 Eric Cantona The driving force of Manchester United in the 1990s, Eric Cantona was the forward you did not mess with and a goal scorer you could not let out of your sight! #3 Dennis Bergkamp One of the finest strikers to have come from the goldmine of talent that is the Netherlands, he too has never won the Champions League. #2 Roberto Baggio Arguably one of the best players and one of the top scoring Italian strikers of all time, it is almost heartbreaking that Il Divin’ Codino (The Divine Ponytail) has never won the Champions League. #1 Ronaldo Nazário de Lima Only three players have won the FIFA Player of the Year thrice and Ronaldo is the only one who hasn’t won the Champions League (Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi being the other two).
