Champions League 'Lucky XI' : The unlikeliest players to win Europe's top prize

#11 Carsten Jancker - Striker

Jancker was the tall and big striker that Bayern Munich wanted but not the one they got. The German was surprisingly not very good in the air but still became somewhat of a cult figure at Bayern.

Jancker played in two Champions League finals, both in 1999 and in 2001. Bayern Munich lost that famous final to Manchester United in 1999 to late goals. Jancker couldn’t score that day as United made the great escape to lift the trophy.

But two years in 2001 Munich reached the final once again. Jancker was only a substitute for the start of the game but did make an impact after coming on. He helped the team win the penalty which Munich scored to take the game to extra time

The Germans went on to lift the coveted trophy and Jancker was lucky enough to have his name associated with the achievement ending that season without a single goal
