1. Ronaldo – Players never to win Champions League
The biggest striker in football history also makes his appearances in this list despite the fact he had a terrific career, getting praised in every place he went to play, destroying rivals every week at a national and international level, but there was something he couldn’t achieve during his career: a Champions League title.
Ronnie only could reach the semi-finals once, when Nedved’s Juventus took on Real Madrid and qualified to the final. R9 was playing at a huge level that season, as he almost single-handedly took Real Madrid to semis after an outstanding quarter-final series in front of Manchester United.
After that, Madrid was unable to reach those instance again and got into a streak of last-16 eliminations from 2005 to 2011. Ronaldo decided to part ways with Los Blancos and couldn’t have any success in Champions after that. Watch & Bet Football Live =>
