Ronaldo, Maradona, Buffon - these names are known all over the world, but these football geniuses, who have won many awards, cannot boast of triumph in the UEFA Champions League.
The most famous players who have never won the Champions League:
Gianluigi Buffon: the long-time goalkeeper of "Juventus" and world champion.
Sol Campbell: former defender of "Arsenal" and the English national team, who scored a goal in the tournament final in 2006.
Fabio Cannavaro: represented "Juventus" and Real Madrid during his career, but that was not enough for at least one winning season.
Lilian Thuram: in 2006 he left the Turin team relegated to "Serie B" and moved to "Barcelona."
Lothar Matthaus: legendary German, who played in five World Cups and narrowly missed the Champions League trophy twice - only losing in the final.
Patrick Vieira: at the beginning of 2010 decided to exchange "Inter" for "Man City." A few months later, the Italians won the "treble."
Roberto Baggio: winner of the "Golden Ball," considered one of the best Italian forwards.
Pavel Nedved: the tough Czech missed very narrowly in 2003, when they lost in the final.
Diego Maradona: one of the greatest players in the world with "Napoli" won two "Scudetto," the UEFA Cup, but never held the most famous European trophy in his hands.
Ronaldo: the legendary Brazilian represented the most famous European clubs, but left the tournament empty-handed.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Like Ronaldo, the famous Swede collects national league titles, but not trophies from the Champions League tournament.
