Fans Outraged as Cristiano Ronaldo Misses L’Équipe’s All-Time Champions League XI

Fans have criticised L’Équipe after Cristiano Ronaldo was omitted from the publication’s all-time Champions League XI, despite Lionel Messi being included. The selected side features Ray Clemence in goal, with Franz Beckenbauer, Franco Baresi, Dani Carvajal and Paolo Maldini in defence. Luka Modrić, Andrés Iniesta, Messi, Johan Cruyff and George Best were named in midfield, while Alfredo Di Stéfano led the attack. Critics argue that Ronaldo’s omission is difficult to justify. The Portuguese forward is the Champions League’s all-time top scorer with 140 goals in 183 appearances, has won the trophy five times and holds the record for the most goals in a single campaign with 17. He also has 67 knockout-stage goals, more than any other player.
