George Weah of Paris St Germain and Sergi of Barcelona — The three-time African Player of the Year has never been in the finals of the Champions League Final

UCL Appearances: 16

Goals scored: 11

Teams played for in UCL: PSG, AC Milan.

Highest stage reached in UCL: Semi-Finals (PSG).

The 25th President of Liberia has been a serial winner in his footballing days. Having played for big teams like Monaco, PSG, AC Milan, Chelsea, Manchester City and Marseille, King George has won multiple trophies and accolades across the continent.

However, he never really got a chance to show him immense talent on the grand European stage.

The 1995 Ballon d'Or winner came closest to the UCL Finals in the 1994-95 season when his PSG side lost to AC Milan (3-0 to AC Milan on aggregate) in the semi-finals.

Impressed by his prolific skills, AC Milan signed the legendary striker in the next season. However, his time at the San Siro club was plain unlucky in Europe.

He arrived at a time when AC Milan was going through a brief hiatus in Europe, having won the continental trophy in 1989, 1990 and 1994, and then again in 2003 and 2007.
