Magikarp Splashy and you’re name describes what you was doing and where you was in 99 pal, Ronny Johnson was starting 11 that season and absolute garbage.
Kalou is dirty. He was a good player for us. Using the fact that he couldn’t get in above the best African player ever is not really valid. Definitely not the worst player to lift that trophy.
Did you just say Drogba was the best African player ever? Eto'o and George Weah are definitely better than him. He might be the best in the Premier League but then again, YaYa Toure definitely deserves a shout there too.
So Kalou's in there because he didn't quite achieve as much as Drogba, makes sense... He was a solid player, have no idea why he's in this list. He's in the top 3 worst forwards to ever win the champions league?
Wow... the disrespect show to Kalou. In his 6 years at Chelsea, he scored 60 goals and only scoring less than 10 on 2 occasions. Not forgetting how instrumental he was to Mourinho's side before José left for Inter. Meanwhile... Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came on in additional time of the 2nd half to play only 36 seconds of Liverpool's 2019 champions league triumph. And Oxlade-Chamberlain has only ever scored more than 5 goals in all compete just once since the 2011/12 season when he joined Arsenal. Come on mann... put some respect on Kalou's name🤦🏾♂️
Anderson? He was always in for the big games well trusted by fergie , career went down hill after Utd but that season he won it he was good .. struggling for content guys as this is the 2nd one of this youse have done
Luke Dunford they know more about football them me because how ? Anderson kalou in a worst CL winners 11 ? And they know more about football ok smart arse haha they live off this ‘ expected goals ‘ carry on now used to be good content just absolutely garbage now .. so behave dunford haha
“He is a good striker” but “when you think about the best striker to win it.” Come on dawg. That’s ur reasoning? That’s so lame. Friking Origi deserves to be in there is kalou is getting put in there.
Anderson played in Man Utd and was never used as a number 10. I would compare him while in United to James Rodriguez in Real or Coutinho in Barcelona. The talent was there but not for the system used. Harsh XI... Carlos Alberto had a beautiful season when he won the champions.
Unlike other videos for worst XIs a lot of these players aren't terrible players, they are just not as talented as their teammates. Most of them would easily get into the starting XI of mid table clubs
I feel like this list is kinda weak when you have backups, would had been interesting if it was restricted to players who play at least over half of the CL games that season.
Too many substitutes. How about an eleven of starters GK Cesar 2002 DF Oleguer 2006 DF Brown 2008 DF Galli 1994 DF Valente 2004 CM Mendes 2004 CM Lambert 1997 LW Bertrand 2012 RW Blomqvist 1999 CF Derlei 2004 CF Chapuisat 1997
Kiko Casilla wasn’t that bad for Real Madrid at all, playing second choice to Keylor Navas he would quite often perform to what was needed of him, the same can’t be said for his team as Leeds despite them getting promoted this season!
Obvious trolling for controversy picking Kalou is obvious. Well liked among both Chelsea & Hertha supporters... should bring some heat to your comments section.
I generally like your top 10's and chosen 11's but these a good few of these picks are pushing the boat for a negative argument against fine players just to not repeat the original / actual worst players. Was better off basically repeating and being honest instead of a few of the picks mentioned.
I mean realistically the worst Champions League winning xi would be 3rd string players in each position that almost no one has heard of. But that wouldn't be very interesting
What do you think about the betting odds for next year's Serie A? Juventus 1.6, Inter 4, Atalanta 12 (!).. considering all the expected points and your praise of Atalanta, that's a steal right?
Kiko Casilla was amazing at Espanyol before his move back to Real Madrid. He did so well that he even won a Spain cap, so putting him in this XI is a bit of a joke. Surely there are tons of goalkeepers who have been worse than him. Also, Coentrão actually started the 2014 Champions League final instead of Marcelo, whom he had displaced in the starting lineup at the time. He even started and assisted Bale's goal in the Copa del Rey final the same year. It's sad that he declined so much in his late 20's and early 30's, but from 2010 to 2015 he was genuinely great and does not deserve to be in this XI either.
I understand that many people will have their opinions on some selections being harsh. But then we have to accept one truth: Some players are good and reliable but then they are not the backbone of the team, they are still more or less carried by the better performing teammates around them. Truly good players aren't "passengers" who wide on other star players performing. While there are deserving names who do not win the UCL, you can't credit every player who has done so. Yes, the UCL is a very noble achievement for a player's CV, you can see how exposed they become once they leave their sides and see their careers dwindle.
Absolute disgrace that Kalou is here considering he scored 60 goals for Chelsea in 6 years despite hardly being a consistent starter. He's definitely better than other poor CL winning forwards like Pedro Munitis, Edgaras Jankauskas, Ryan Bertrand (played forward/wide in 2012), Jese, Divock Origi, Bojan Krkic and Lucas Vazquez. Those last two won the CL TWICE EACH btw, and Kalou is definitely better than either of them.
Total disrespect towards Kalou. Top player for Chelsea. 8 major trophies and a runner up in the 2008 champions league. Sometimes I wonder if the folk at football daily know anything about football.
Just saying, Mason Mount looks remarkably similar to Padovano at 10:23. Considering he joined palace in 97, wonder if he ever played against portsmouth ;)
Kalou was an incredibly underrated player who played a massive role in Chelsea's success during his time at the club. You guys normally do well but thats a terrible inclusion.
I dont know abot Coentrao,Anderson and Kalou tho. Coentrao and Anderson are not an A+ player, but they're very solid and contributing fairly good the year when they got the CL Trophy. And for Kalou, for me he's a B+ player who contributing very good when chelsea won and beat bayern
Can't imagine well5be seeing Casilla at all for Leeds again. Apparently Bielsa had enough after his racism ban. Would surprise me more if he stayed at the club
Roque Junior? you mean 2002 World cup winner with THAT Brazil squad Roque Junior? the only reason that he wasn't in the first team is because he had player like Maldini and Nesta infront of him (arguably the strongest defensive pair in football history)
the way they see football in a statistical aspect itself says about their way of looking football. Football is an emotion and stats doesnt always be true,
Salomon Kalou? How is he one of the worst? Kalou was a very good squad player for Chelsea - he might not be Drogba or Lampard level when it comes to quality, but he was a reliable servant for the club and deserves more respect.
The last comment about Carlos Alberto is a bit stupid. He, like several other promising players, had the talent but lacked the maturity. For example, he left Porto after winning the Intercontinental Cup because his partying became a problem and Porto decided to sell him. He was a good player, otherwise Mourinho wouldn't have selected him as a starter for a UCL final (unlike most of the players in this eleven)
Kalou? That’s harsh, he was a useful squad player. Should’ve definitely gone for Ross Turnbull from that 2012 squad.
Sam James agreed, Ronny Johnson United 99 as well

Anderson would regularly start games ahead of Scholes when the opposition were physical in midfield
Bri10 exactly , these guys doing this ain’t even got a clue about football ! And look like they have 2 left feet playing it lol
Especially given he won it in his first season, when he was playing well
Agreed
Luke Dunford they know more about football them me because how ? Anderson kalou in a worst CL winners 11 ? And they know more about football ok smart arse haha they live off this ‘ expected goals ‘ carry on now used to be good content just absolutely garbage now .. so behave dunford haha

@Luke Dunford Origi is better then Kalou? That's not true Kalou gaved everything on the pitch and he was selfless, Origi is just dog shit
@Luke Dunford Origi is a trash, 19 goals in almost 100 games for Liverpool, he'll probably end up with a worse Premier League goal rate than Kalou.
