#3 Kylian Mbappe | Paris Saint-Germain v Bayern Munich, 2020
In the Champions League final of 2020, PSG faced Bayern Munich hoping to end their drought in the UEFA Champions League with their first title in their 50-year history.
Especially in the first half of the game, PSG had their fair share of big chances, which they didn't take. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both fired early warnings to the German champions, with the Brazilian having a shot saved by Manuel Neuer, and the French speedster being denied by a block from Joshua Kimmich.
However, just as the first half was drawing to a close, Mbappe was presented with an opportunity that he would back himself to bury nine out of ten times. Unfortunately for him, the big day wasn't one of those nine.
After being gifted the ball by David Alaba on the edge of the penalty area, Mbappe exchanged passes with Ander Herrera, and found himself face-to-face with Neuer, but his shot lacked any sort of power or conviction and dribbled into Neuer's arms.
Eventually, PSG would rue those misses, as Kingsley Coman's header midway through the second half proved to be enough for Bayern to celebrate their sixth success in Europe's premier club competition.
As for PSG and Mbappe, the wait to end the drought goes on.
#2 Arjen Robben | Bayern Munich v Chelsea, 2012
This was supposed to be the greatest night in the history of Bayern Munich. They were playing a European final at their home - at the Allianz Arena. It was all going to plan, as Thomas Muller put them ahead with a header in the 83rd-minute.
They just had to see out a few minutes to lift the Champions League title in their own backyard. But Didier Drogba's header off a Juan Mata corner in the 88th minute took the game into extra-time.
Drogba nearly went from hero to villain in extra-time though, as he fouled Franck Ribery inside the box, and gave Robben the opportunity to convert a penalty and put Bayern in front.
Instead, the Dutchman's spot-kick was tamely struck, and rather easy for Petr Cech to get behind and save.
Eventually, the game went to a penalty shootout, where Chelsea won 4-3, after Ivica Olic and Bastian Schweinsteiger missed for the Bavarians, to offset Juan Mata missing the first spot kick for the London club.
#1 Gonzalo Higuain | Argentina v Germany, 2014
On the night of all nights - the World Cup final in 2014 - Gonzalo Higuain was the unfortunate party, as Argentina were eventually made to pay for his profligacy in front of goal.
Very early in the game, Higuain latched on to an absolutely awful back header from Toni Kroos, and was straight through on goal up against Neuer. But, his approach to the ball was slow and lethargic, and allowed the German defenders some time to get close to him.
By the time Higuain pulled the trigger, Mats Hummels eventually was almost by his side. That forced the Argentine to panic slightly, and his shot was eventually dragged well wide of the target.
A few minutes later, Higuain had the ball in the back of the net, but it was disallowed due to him being offside. He had no more real opportunities to make amends for his early miss, as Germany eventually won the game in extra-time.
Mario Gotze's finish off an Andre Schurrle cross in the second period of extra-time was enough to give Germany the World Cup title, and left Higuain, Lionel Messi and Argentina to wait longer if they had to bury the ghosts of past international tournaments for La Albiceleste.
