AS of now, Marko Marin is the only active german professional who has got a European title. And as for the benayoun thing, he really must be great in no pressure situations.
Remember this? This skill is phenomenal even for pros, Most players can't even do this without defenders. Also he scored some very important goals for Liverpool. I bet he would be okay if he would be given more playing time, but the same applies to Marin.
