There have been few men as potent, as lethal as Ronaldo Nazario. The Brazilian was a certified champion who never failed to impress. A commendable footwork, scintillating speed, uncomparable goal-scoring ability and a solid character, Ronaldo is often considered as one of the greatest of all time.

The Brazilian is one of the most decorated players of his generation and has numerous record to his name. The former Real Madrid hitman had a special liking to scoring at the World Cup, a prestigious trophy he has won twice and finished with the runners-up medal on 2 occasions. His record of 15 goals was broken by Miroslav Klose, a legend in his own right, who scored goals for fun at the World Cup.

Ronaldo claimed the FIFA Player of The Year trophy on 3 occasions during his illustrious career. The Brazilian played for some of the greatest clubs in the world ranging from AC Milan, Inter Milan to Real Madrid and Barcelona. It is fair to say Ronaldo proved to be a great signing for every club he ever played for and if it wasn't for injuries, Ronaldo's career would've lasted much longer.

Looking at Ronaldo's legendary resume, one glaring absence is noticed. The Brazilian played for some gigantic clubs in Europe and it might seem that he must have bagged many UCL medals but that's where football surprises us. Having donned famous shirts like that of Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan & Inter Milan, Ronaldo played in numerous Champions League seasons but never got his hands on the prestigious trophy.
