The Champions League final takes place on Saturday evening, as Liverpool<\/a> take on Tottenham<\/a>. Both clubs have extremely strong first teams and, barring injuries, you will struggle to find a weak link in either side.<\/p>\n

That hasn’t been the case in every former final though, with some very surprising players having picked up winners medals. We decided to take a look at five of the worst players to win the Champions League.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ryan Bertrand<\/h3>\n

Following a number of loan spells at lower league clubs, Bertrand was part of the Chelsea side that overcame Bayern Munich in penalties in the 2011\/12 final, becoming the first player in Champions League history to make his European debut in the final.<\/p>\n

Bertrand might protest his inclusion on this list, particularly as one of his teammates that day, Jos\u00e9 Bosingwa, was also under serious consideration for inclusion. However, Bosingwa escaped scrutiny due to him having somehow picked up 15 career trophies, giving him a credibility that his talent didn’t particularly warrant.<\/p>\n

Having now forged a successful career as Southampton\u2019s left-back, picking up 19 England caps along the way, Bertrand is a solid if unspectacular Premier League player. However, he should have been nowhere near a Champions League final.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

David May<\/h3>\n

Sir Alex Ferguson had a tendency to pack some fairly average players into his extremely talented squads (see: Bebe, David Bellion, Karel Poborsky, Eric Djemba-Djemba). David May doesn’t quite fall into this category but he certainly wasn’t the typical standard of a Champions League winner.<\/p>\n

When Manchester United won the treble in 1999, their Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich was infamous for the impact of Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the bench, goals from each of whom won the match in injury time.<\/p>\n

However, things could have panned out quite differently if Ferguson had opted to bring on David May instead. The Englishman was another solid type who, in truth, lacked the talent to stand out in a squad that featured the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Jaap Stam.<\/p>\n

However, he was still given a medal for United\u2019s triumph and made 85 appearances for the Red Devils in total before being shipped out to Burnley.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesper Blomqvist<\/h3>\n

The second of three members of that United squad to make this list, though the only one to actually play any football<\/a> on that fateful evening. The Swedish left-winger started the match before being hauled off for Teddy Sheringham in the 67th<\/sup> minute, who went on to score the equaliser.<\/p>\n

Blomqvist\u2019s United career only spanned 38 appearances and all came in that season, before he suffered an injury that kept him out for the remainder of his contract. However, amazingly those 38 appearances were enough for to win a Premier League, an FA Cup and a Champions League.<\/p>\n

The Swede was the sort of player who, on his day, could be sensational. Unfortunately those days were few and far between and, after brief spells at Everton and Charlton, he eventually faded into Scandinavian obscurity at Djurg\u00e5rdens, Enk\u00f6ping and Hammarby. No, we don\u2019t know where they are either.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonathan Greening<\/h3>\n

With United\u2019s treble that year now infamous, it seems apt that we include our own treble in this list. As such, rounding off a trio of hopeless Red Devils is Jonathan Greening.<\/p>\n

Not only did Greening fail to play a minute in the final, he didn\u2019t play a minute in the entire competition, later admitting that he felt \u201ca bit of a fraud\u201d when picking up his winners medal. Rightly so.<\/p>\n

Greening only played 14 times for United over a three-year period that, bizarrely, merited a contract extension. However, in 2001 he left to begin a tour of the England that took in Middlesbrough, West Brom, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Barnsley, York City and, lastly, the mighty Tadcaster Albion (twice). I\u2019m willing to bet he\u2019s the only Champions League winner to ever have played for them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Djimi Traor\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Ah Djimi. There could only be one name fit to round off this list and it had to be to hapless Malian defender who regularly shredded Liverpudlian nerves between 1999 and 2006.<\/p>\n

When people talk about the miracle of Istanbul in 2005, everyone assumes they are referring to Liverpool\u2019s sensational comeback from three goals down. However, the real miracle was that things weren’t worse when you consider that Liverpool’s full backs were Djimi Traor\u00e9 and Steve Finnan whereas AC Milan\u2019s were Paolo Maldini and Cafu.<\/p>\n

Traor\u00e9 simply wasn\u2019t a particularly good player. He was a liability defensively, extremely suspect in possession and not dynamic enough to support the attack. Possibly his most famous moment for Liverpool was an extraordinary own goal against Burnley which, if scored deliberately at the other end, may have been a goal of the month contender.<\/p>\n

In fairness to him, he did put in a game-saving challenge to deny Andriy Shevchenko in Istanbul but that isn\u2019t enough to keep him off this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
