The great "loser"

Some failures will become the mother of success, while others explain the persistence that will never give up, so these moments of regret or loneliness can also achieve another kind of beauty in the green world.

Today, we're going to talk about the great losers and their stories that deserve to be remembered.

(superstars also have trophies they can't get.).

Benfica?

The curse of Gutman and the loss of championships in Euro 58.

Benfica was once an ancient ship in Europe. When they won the Champions League in 1961 and 1962, then coach Gutman was refused a salary increase, so he swore: "Benfica will not win the European championship in 100 years!"

As a result, the Portuguese giants reached the Champions League final five times and failed three times in the UEFA Cup final in the following 58 years, and the "Gutman Curse" is regarded as the scariest curse in football.

However, the eagle's dream will not stop, they will continue to fight for the championship until the curse is broken.

Valencia.

Two consecutive teams in UEFA Champions League.

Valencia at the turn of the century is fascinating, with stars such as Mendieta, Canizares, Angulo, Killy Gonzalez and so on. They also shine in the Champions League, but they always become the background board of the champion.

In the 2000 Champions League, Valencia met Real Madrid in the final, resulting in a 1-0 defeat for the tactically restrained bat Legion.

A year later, the more mature of them made a comeback, this time before the peak of Dominique Strauss-Kahn's fingers.

Time is also, fate is also, looking back on the past, those brilliant and crazy, are part of Valencia's history.

Leverkusen.

Sorrowful Sanya King.

If Valencia at least had glory in La Liga and the Uefa Cup, Bayer Leverkusen was the downright tragic protagonist.

In the 2001-02 season, the powerful pharmaceutical company lost its footing at the last minute of the league, the German Cup was reversed by its opponents, and the UEFA Champions League final was defeated by Zinedine Zidane.

The story of the iron fighter Michael Ballack rubbing shoulder to shoulder with the Big ear Cup has become a classic, and people will not forget the "uncrowned team" full of sadness.

Bayern Munich.

The rebirth of the queen of Sanya.

Also from Germany, it is also often the subject of inventory, and Bayern's story is more dazzling than Bayer Leverkusen.

After the 1999 Champions League final was reversed by the miracle of the Nou Camp, the Bundesliga overlord won the Champions League in 2001.

They lost the Champions League final twice in 2010 and 2012, and the other time they were doubly beaten by Dodt in the domestic league and cup, too humiliated to look up.

But after all, the king had ambitions. In the first year of becoming queen of Sanya in 2011, Bayern reorganized, and the firmly standing Ram, together with his teammates, became the only treble in the history of the Bundesliga.

Isn't such a story great?

Atletico Madrid.

Fell in the Champions League final three times.

Like Bayern, Atletico Madrid is known for its will, but Atletico Madrid is always accompanied by sadness.

Simone's iron-blooded army reached the finals in 2014 and 2016, but they fell in front of their city rivals Real Madrid twice.

The first time he was killed less than a minute from the championship, and the second time he was given a controversial penalty.

If you were told that the sheets lost to Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in 1974, you would sigh for them.

But men's fighting will not stop, and we respect Atletico precisely because he is very much like us who are bruised and unwilling to be mediocre in our lives.

Juventus.

Five consecutive defeats in the final of UEFA Champions League.

Atletico Madrid have fallen in the Champions League final three times, while Juve from Serie A have fallen on this stage five times in a row.

After beating Ajax on penalties in 1996, the Bianconeri went to the final battle in 1997, 1998, 2003, 2015 and 2017, but it was a pity that they were either caught in the cold, fell down in 12 yards, or met Ronaldo and Bell at the peak of MSN or full form, and their dreams were always broken in one step.

Perhaps the reason why Buffon has not retired is that he hopes to break his destiny with Juventus and land in Europe.

Liverpool.

Is about to break the 30-year destiny of the Premier League.

Fall down in order to get up, the story of Liverpool is also very moving.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, the Reds, as the overlord of England, have not been involved in the league title again.

In 2008-09 and 2013-14, they were only one step away from success, but the last-minute crash and Steven Gerrard's slip became a permanent pain.

In the 2018-19 season, Klop's team even became the runner-up with the highest score in the history of the five major leagues.

But the so-called success is only one more time to stand up than to fall. Liverpool's Premier League ride away this season, and the epidemic may make the champion late, but it will never be absent.

Netherlands.

The uncrowned king in bloom.

As an absolute powerhouse at the national team level, the heavyweight champion in Dutch history has only one European Cup, a passionate country that always seems to lack its last breath in the field of football.

In the 1974 and 1978 World Cups, Dutch football, which was offensive and defensive and pleasing to the eyes, reached the World Cup finals, but lost to West Germany and Argentina respectively.

In 2010, the realistic tulips once again entered the World Cup final stage and fell at the feet of matadors. What if Arjen Robben got into that single knife?

There is no if in history, Dutch football, which has been reborn again and again, will never forget the pursuit of splendor.

Argentina.

Three continents in the Intercontinental Competition.

With the combination of art and sadness, Argentina has been perfectly close in recent years. Messi wants to lead the Pampas Eagle to win an adult national team championship, but fate always jokes.

Argentina reached the final in the 2014 World Cup, facing its old rival Germany and was beaten at the end of extra time.

And this is just the beginning of fate's teasing. Messi and his teammates lost two games in a row in the 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals, and Chile beat them.

Such a story is destined to be sad, and the Pampas Eagle has not won the adult national team championship for 27 years.

Can Messi realize his dream before he retires?
