There is a big debate as to how many leopards still roam Europe. However it is certainly not true to say that there has never been any. There are various species of leopard that roamed far eastern europe (turkey Armenia etc).
The anatolain leopard (turkey) is seen very rarely (last confirmed sighting was 1974, though tracks were seen in 2003).
Look at the website below for more details

The near eastern leopard which roams Armenia Georgia and Azerbaijan, although admittedly in low numbers, is still very much alive in the wild. Below is a WWF website giving details of a conservation project for this species.

While big cats are not well known in europe, up to 100AD there are accounts of spanish lions taking horses. There were also tigers that survived in eastern european countries including turkey, up until the 1970 (the caspian tiger)
