10 legendary strikers who were unable to win UEFA Champions league

9) Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero

Sergio Aguero has established himself as one of the world's finest strikers. His phenomenal record at Atletico Madrid and Manchester City speaks volumes of his talent. The clever forward is loved by City and Argentina fans in equal measure and always gives his all for his team.

However, he's been plying his trade in teams which do not mount a serious challenge at the Champions League. When he was at Atletico, the team wasn't the powerhouse it is today whilst Manchester City, despite Guardiola's stewardship, have failed to reach beyond the quarterfinals.

Aguero has vowed to leave City only after collecting a Champions League medal. It will be interesting to see whether the Argentine is able to keep his promise!

8) Gabriel Batistuta

Roma v Napoli

The man is revered by fans so much that he has a life-size bronze statue erected in Florence. 'Batigoal', as he is fondly referred to by fans the world over, played the majority of his career at Fiorentina who, realistically, never had a real shot at winning the Champions League.

In fact, in 2001, Batigoal had to leave his beloved Fiorentina and switch to Roma to win the Scudetto, before retiring in 2005 after a one-year lucrative deal in the middle east.

Well, at least he was the inspiration behind Argentina's last international triumph, the 1993 Copa America, scoring both goals in a 2-1 win against Mexico in the final. Your move, Leo Messi.
