#1 Gianluigi Buffon

Gianluigi Buffon has lost in the final more than once

One of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, Gianluigi Buffon the legend of football will be remembered for his passion and love for his club. At the age of 39, he is still playing for the pride of his club and it has been 20 long years since he started dominating his position in world football.

Titles won: 9 x Serie A, 1 x Serie B, 4 x Coppa Italia, 6 x Super Cup and a World Cup in 2006. Buffon proved to be modestly successful with both his club and country but the only wish he couldn't accomplish is winning the Champions League.

The most interesting fact is that Gigi Buffon has given three appearances in the UEFA Champions League final all over his career, which was in 2016/17, 2014/15 and 2002/03 failing to claim the crown on all three occasions.

Following his latest defeat in the Champions League final against Real Madrid on 3 June 2017, Buffon seemed to be heartbroken when he said, “It’s a big disappointment because we thought we did everything we needed to win, to win this cup you have to be stronger than everything against you."

With Juventus fighting for the Champions League title in the round of 16 currently, it will be the last chance for Buffon to achieve his dream as his contract expires at the end of the season and he could retire too.
