The greatest player to have never won the Champions League per the FourFourTwo Magazine, Ronaldo missed out on a medal due to an unfortunate technicality.

When AC Milan won the Champions League in January 2007, Ronaldo was denied the opportunity to participate and be allotted a medal because he was 'cup-tied'. This is because he played for Real Madrid in the Champions League earlier in the season and thus was ineligible to represent AC Milan.

The closest that el Fenemino has been to Champions League success was in 2003 when he helped Real Madrid to the semi-finals, in which they lost to Juventus.
