L'Équipe's picks: Messi leads the historic Champions League line-up with Cristiano left out | Goal.com
Vincent Duluc, one of the most prominent writers at "L'Équipe", has picked his all-time Champions League XI. The French journalist left out Cristiano Ronaldo, the competition's record scorer, and found no room for a single French player either.
Spanning more than seven decades, Duluc's lineup drew on the tournament's greatest legends, from the birth of the European Cup in 1955 to the modern Champions League. He tried to strike a balance between the pre-1992 era of the European Cup for champion clubs and the competition's modern age after the format changed.
