However, even the best are not immune to moments of brilliance, and Ronaldinho delivered one of the most famous goals in Champions League history against him at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea had stormed into a 3-0 lead against Barcelona, looking set to overturn their first-leg deficit. But Ronaldinho, always capable of the spectacular, produced a jaw-dropping toe-poked strike that left Cech rooted to the spot.

Recalling the moment, Cech explained: “I remember it quite well. I thought he was going to step over and go one way or the other, and then he stopped completely and you think ‘what is he going to do?’ And you see he started dancing around it, and then he used the toe punt.
“The worst thing is it was so quick and so surprising, the moment I was ready to push, the ball was by my side. It was a good strike, but the surprise!
“You don’t expect that, you always feel like they prepare for the better shot, but the best players always find a solution to get a bit of space and the shot away.”
