Gianluigi Buffon has once again been eluded by club football’s most elite prize.The World Cup winner has made no secret of his desperation to win the Champions League to complete his trophy collection – but he was once again denied on Wednesday evening as Manchester United stunned PSG at the Parc des Princes.11
Roberto Baggio
The 1993 Ballon D’or winner was one of the finest players of the 90s’s but never achieved Champions League success like his compatriots Paolo Maldini or Franco Baresi.‘The Divine Ponytail’ spent his entire career in Italy with a number of huge clubs such as Juventus, Milan and Inter but was never crowned a European champion.A year after Juventus sold Baggio to Milan, the Old Lady went onto win the Champions League in 1996.11Dennis Bergkamp
He was one of the most technically gifted players of his generation, but never managed to win the Champions League.The striker’s last match for Arsenal was their 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the 2006 Final, where he was an unused substitute.But his fear of flying ( he was nicknamed ‘The Non-Flying Dutchman) reduced his chances of helping the Gunners to European glory as he only sparingly travelled across the continent for Champions League matches.11Pavel Nedved
The Czech made his name as one of the finest midfielders in Europe during his time with Lazio and then Juventus, but he never managed to win the Champions League.In 2003, Nedved received a one game ban for fouling Real Madrid’s Steve McManaman in the semi-final and therefore missed Juve’s penalty shoot-out loss to AC Milan.In his six years left with the club he came no closer to winning the tournament.11Ronaldo
The bullish forward is arguably the greatest player to never win the tournament.He played for several European giants, including both Barcelona and Real Madrid as well as both Milan clubs, but still the trophy eluded him.Ronaldo spearheaded Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002 with eight goals in the tournament but he never did enough to claim a European title.11Ruud Van Nistelrooy
The striker was the all-time top scorer in the Champions League before the emergence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.He was the top scorer in three out of four seasons n the competition from 2001-05 but he never managed go all the way and win it.His best run came when Manchester United reached the semi-final in 2002, but they were eventually knocked out by Bayer Leverkusen.11Fabio Cannavaro
The World Cup winning captain never won the competition despite playing at the highest level in Italy for more than a decade.Even after moving from Juventus to Real Madrid following the corruption scandal in 2006, Cannavaro still only managed to reach the last-16 round despite winning two LaLiga titles while playing for Los Blancos.11Patrick Vieira
The Arsenal legend guided his side to an unprecedented unbeaten season in the Premier League and also won the World Cup with France in 1998 but was always eluded by the Champions League.Vieira moved from Inter Milan to Manchester City in January 2010 and, just five months later, Jose Mourinho guided Inter to a Champions League victory as part of an historic treble.11Francesco Totti
The striker spent 25 years with his beloved Roma, but never managed to achieve glory in the Champions League.In his prime he was a sensational striker, netting 250 goals in 619 appearances for his side, but the closest he got to winning it were runs to the quarter-finals in two seasons from 2006-08.A consolation that Totti can be proud of is that he remains the oldest Champions League scorer in history – at 38 years and 58 days.11Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The legendary marksman is now well and truly at the tail-end of his career and has always somehow managed to avoid the Champions League trophy.He left Barcelona after falling out with Pep Guardiola – and after he left they then went onto win the trophy twice in three years,Despite also playing for Juventus, both Milan clubs, PSG and Manchester United the best round the Swede has got to is the semi-finals.11Robert Lewandowski
The Pole has a great record in the Champions League, scoring 53 goals in 79 appearances, but has not won the tournament yet.He was defeated by his current club Bayern Munich in 2013 while playing for Borussia Dortmund.In recent season he has reached the semi-finals three seasons running but has still been eluded by the trophy.Getty11Gianluigi Buffon is almost certain to join the list of great players never to win the Champions League. But which other legends have never done it? From Ronaldo to Totti, the best players

Gianluigi Buffon. Another player who has paid the price of loyalty, it is, of course, Juventus and Italy legend Gigi Buffon. While Totti never even got close to being a European champion, the once most expensive goalkeeper in the world has come agonisingly close on a number of occasions, incredibly losing all three of the Champions League finals in his illustrious career.
