UEFA Champions League 2018/19: Flop XI of the tournament

Striker: Edinson Cavani (PSG)

Cavani was hapless as PSG endured another UCL heartbreak

PSG seems to have hit a glass ceiling in the Champions League which they just can't break through. Another agonizing early exit facilitated by another spectacular bottle-job. And amongst the many flops in the team, Cavani was at the forefront.

In a season marred by injuries and erratic on-field form, Cavani bowed out after scoring only twice from seven appearances, both against minnows Red Star Belgrade. He offered no great shakes against the top shouts and wasn't awarded much time in the all-too familiar collapse against Manchester United either.

Striker: Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona)

Suarez has been way below his own standards

If the Barcelona hitman has been average in La Liga, then he was downright underwhelming in the Champions League. And thereby he joins his Uruguayan counterpart in this unwanted list.

Just a single goal in 10 appearances - in the semi-finals against his former side Liverpool, Suarez seems to have forgotten how to pull up trees in Europe. He was completely eclipsed by Messi, but his poor run also imposed greater burden on the latter.

Suarez's annus horribilis in the competition hit it's nadir against the Reds in the return leg, where he wasn't only kept quiet, but was admittedly horrendous in his Anfield homecoming.
