10 Hardest Feats to Accomplish in World Football: {1} Winning a World Cup on Another Continent (There have been 19 World Cups held thus far, and [counting the Americas as a continental bloc] only on three occasions has a team won the trophy on a continent that is not their own.) {2} Completing an Undefeated League Season (Any side that manages to go through an entire domestic league season undefeated instantly earns legendary status.) {3} Claiming Back-to-Back Champions Leagues (In the Champions League era, no side has managed to win back-to-back titles yet.) {4} Achieving the Treble (Only seven clubs have won their domestic league, domestic cup and the European Cup/Champions league in the same season.) {5} Winning the Ballon DOr If You Dont Play for a Giant Club (It is almost impossible for a footballer to win the Ballon DOr unless he plays for one of the giants of European football.) {6} Winning the Ballon DOr If Youre a Defender (Italys talismanic captain Fabio Cannavaro is the only out-and-out defender to have won the Ballon DOr in the last two decades, with Matthias Sammer largely playing as an advancing libero when he claimed the gong in 1996.) {7} Beating a Jose Mourinho-Coached Side at Their Home Ground (Sides coached by Jose Mourinho do occasionally lose at home, but it doesnt happen very often.) {8} Beating an Ibrahimovic Side to the League Title (Swedish extrovert Zlatan Ibrahimovic normally wins whatever league he is playing in, regardless of which club colours he wears.) {9} Taking Out Both the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores (Considering that South Americas finest footballers inevitably end up spending a large part of their careers in European football, it is rare for players to finish with both Champions League and Copa Libertadores medals.) {10} Scoring More Than 30 Goals in a Serie A Campaign (In the notoriously defensive Serie A, very few players have accumulated more than 30 goals in a single season since the early decades of the 20th century.)
