Highs:
He led Juventus to its first CL final in 5 years in 03, finishing the year with the European footballer of the year accolade for his superb efforts.
Although second fiddle to the likes of the older Patrick Berger and Karel Poborský, was an important part of the czech team that reached the Euro96 final, upsetting the likes of France, Italy and Portugal.

Lows:
Missed the 03 final due to a booking in the semifinal.
Was just shy of coming up with a more brilliant trophy case, as his teams reached but failed to win a UEFA Cup (98), CL (03) and Euro (96), which would have given him an almost perfect score.
Played only in one World Cup, in 06, at already 34, with the Czech Republic being knocked out in the group stage.
