Em inglês existe o termo "quarter-final", e os oito times que chegam às quartas são denominados de "last eight". Por metonímia e no contexto em questão, porém, eu identificaria um com o outro, portanto:
«... um time (ou equipa) que nunca consegue chegar às quartas de final da Liga dos Campeões (da UEFA)...», ou uma variação disto.

Sorte!
