Overview
Pavel Nedvěd won the Ballon d'Or in 2003 after carrying Juventus to the Champions League final — a match he missed through suspension, picked up in the semi-final against Real Madrid. Juventus lost on penalties.
Known as the Czech Cannon for his shooting and his running, he stayed with Juventus after their forced relegation to Serie B in 2006 and helped win promotion back. He was part of the Czech side that reached the Euro 1996 final.
