10 Players We Still Can't Believe Won The Champions League

6. Vladimir Smicer

A Czech European Parliament candidate once scored in a Champions League final - that's right, not keen to rest on his laurels and stare at his Champions League medal every day, Vladimir Smicer has entered the world of politics and is keen to tackle physical fitness issues. Then again, it is still hard to believe that half of those players from that Liverpool team of 2005 have Champions League medals. Not only was it an incredible achievement, having famously trailed the great AC Milan by three goals after 45 minutes, but individually, it was littered with an array of sub-standard individuals. In 2005, Everton only snuck into fourth place with a modest 61 points, which was still three points more than their turgid cross-city counterparts were able to summon. With Rafa Benitez intent on tinkering with the side every week, they lost the joint-highest amount of games out of any side in the top nine, with a startling 14. With an average side, it is no surprise it wasn€™t stacked to the brim with superstars. The Czech politician, who aided the renaissance against Milan with a 25 yard piledriver, may be one of the most heralded Czech players of all time for his Premier League exploits, but he still lacks gumption when it comes to the big stage. During his six seasons with the club, he failed to hold down a regular starting position, instead fashioning himself as something of a super-sub, without the superlative.
