Much is made of the great Champions League sides, but what about the dreadful ones? Let's take a look at the worst Champions League teams ever...

Anderlecht in the 2004/2005 Champions League had a terrible group stage, failing to score a point against Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, and Valencia.
Maccabi Tel Aviv had a humiliating experience in the 2015/2016 Champions League, conceding 16 goals and scoring only one in six consecutive defeats.
Rangers had the worst performance in the Champions League, losing all six group stage matches, conceding 22 goals, and scoring only two. Their biggest defeat was a 1-7 thrashing by Liverpool.
