Weve witnessed the rise and fall of so many great players in the world of football, some before their retirements achieved almost everything the young players of today crave for but despite that, they never won the prestigious UEFA Champions League with any European team during their playing days. Totti is one of the most loyal footballers out there and, arguably one of the finest midfielders. Francesco Totti is the second highest goal scorer in the Serie A, at least among those footballers who are still active. However, Romas captain has never has the chance to lift the Champions League trophy. Totti has won a Serie A title in 2001 and the Coppa Italia in 2007 and 2008 and also the World Cup in 2006, but never the Champions League. 10. Francesco Totti

Buffon is arguably one of the worlds best goalkeepers, despite being 36 year old. He is one of the most decorated keepers, having won the Footballer of the Year Award in 2003, eight times winner of the Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year award. Buffon came close to winning the Champions League in 2003 and 2015 against Fc Barcelona and he hopes to win the prestigious trophy before hanging his boots up. 9. Gianluigi Buffon

Ruud Van Nistelrooy is the 4th highest goal scorer in the Champions League with a total of 56 goals, but somehow never won the trophy. Van Nisterloy gained international recognition when he joined Manchester United in 2001, establishing the reputation as one of the deadliest strikers. He played for Real Madrid as well, but his spell at Bernabeu was marked by frequent injuries. 8. Ruud van Nistelrooy

The former Czech midfielder was perhaps one of the finest in his position; he was dubbed The Czech Cannon for his venomous shots. Pavel Nedved won a host of titles in the Czech League and in Italy with Lazio and Juventus respectively. He won the Ballon dOr in 2003 after a super season with Juventus but missed out the Champions League final against Milan at Old Trafford. Nedved was a joy to watch, an absolutely fantastic player. 7.

The former German international might be considered as the most unlucky footballer. Ballack collcted more runners-up medals than winners medals, perhaps more than any other footballer. He has won several medals, be it in the Premier League, the Bundesliga, the World Cup and the Euro Championship, but never as a winner. Ballack come twice close to clinching the Champions League, in 2002 with Bayer Leverkusen and in 2008 with Chelsea lost on both occasions 6. Micheal Ballack

Ibrahimovic is the only player who has won the domestic title, be it with Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan or Paris Saint-Germain, but somehow has failed to get his hands on the Champions League trophy. The Swedish striker has played in the Champions League with all the aforementioned clubs, but his conversion rate in Europe has been relatively poor. He is a brilliant player, but he needs the prestigious trophy if he wants to be hailed as a legend. 5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The Non-Flying Dutchman was perhaps one of the finest midfielders during the late 90s and early 2000s. Dennis Bergkamp was a product of Ajax youth academy and, Arsenal signed him in 1995. Bergkamp won three Premier League titles and 4 FA Cup titles. He was part of the Invincibles team during the 2003-2004 season. Dennis Bergkamp never got his hands on the Champions League trophy, which is saddening. 4. Dennis Bergkamp

Roberto Baggio is perhaps Italys most talented and finest player of all times, but he has never won the never Champions League, which is heartbreaking. Baggio spent five seasons at Juventus and left the Old Lady in 1995. Alas, Juventus clinched the Champions League the next year against Borussia Dortmund after the penalty shootout. People remember his miss against Brazil in the 1994 World Cup final, but a Champions League trophy could have altered peoples perception. 3. Roberto Baggio

The Brazilian legend is the only player with three Player of the Year awards that has never won the Champions League. Il Fenomeno has been one of the finest players during the late 90s and early 2000s, a brilliant and a completed striker. Ronaldo won a host of trophies, including the World Cup and other major trophies, but never the Champions League. He scored 49 goals in European competitions, but missed the most prestigious trophy. 2. Ronaldo De Lima
