#5 John Terry – Champions League 2008
Trending
The last time English sides were dominant in the Champions League was 2008 when Chelsea and Manchester United progressed to the final in Moscow. As Cristiano Ronaldo and Frank Lampard kept their side in the game with a goal each, a stalemate at the end of 90 minutes paved the way for extra time which saw Didier Drogba sent off for slapping Nemanja Vidic, and Chelsea went into the penalty shoot out without their star striker.

The Blues scored from all four of their spot-kicks while Ronaldo missed his when he came in at second. When Mr. Chelsea, John Terry, stepped up to take the final spot kick, the trophy seemed to be in the bag except the captain slipped and his shot bounced off the post. Ryan Giggs would go on to make it 6-5 and Nicholas Anelka saw his attempt saved by Edwin van der Sar giving United the victory.
Terry has never been able to downplay the impact of his miss since then. Instead of winning their first UCL trophy in 2012, it may have happened four years before and this list may have featured Ronaldo at no. 5 instead of Terry.
