I would put the champions league above international as the standard is higher imo.There are so many superb players who never played at the biggest stage, doesn't mean they weren't world class, it's just that they didn't have a team to support their qualities.
IIRC Best never played in World cup but he is easily among the GOATs. Sheva hardly played or did anything great in world cups and Euros, he was one of the best striker of last decade. Don't think Vidic had any impact in world cup and he was easily world class. There are so many players to list.
Shevchenko won a champions league medal and performed consistently at that level, as did Vidic. Both got to other finals too and could reasonably argue to be world class.
