There are many world-class stars who can't seem to play consistently in big games. They're brilliant players with the world at their feet, but when it all comes to pivotal moments that could change everything, they fail to turn up.Perhaps the pressure from fans is quite massive, or maybe they can't seem to shut down their nerves. Whatever the issue, these players have gained a strong reputation for bottling up games.One such example on the international stage is Gonzalo Higuain. In three finals for Argentina (one World Cup and two Copa Americas), the star lost all three. He has pulled off some rather glaring misses in the three finals, including a penalty kick in a shootout as well. It's oddly fitting that Argentina have now won a major trophy, having booted the MLS star out of the squad.On the other side of the spectrum are big-game players; world-class stars who can be relied upon to win the biggest games at crucial moments. They feel no overwhelming pressure from the magnitude of the event, as they're calm and collected throughout.Whether it's in the final moments of a game or the very first minute, these stars only need an opportunity to make it count. They also show up consistently to cement their pedigree as big-game players.On that note, here's a look at ten of the greatest big-game players the game has ever seen:#10 Thierry Henry | ArsenalThierry Henry in Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets gameWhile Thierry Henry played for Monaco, Barcelona and Juventus, he is arguably best remembered for his exploits with Arsenal.Henry dedicated eight years to The Gunners, guiding them to two Premier League titles and three FA Cups.
