Manchester City FC v AS Roma - UEFA Champions League — The one-club legend never switched teams to have a shot at winning the elusive trophy

UCL Appearances: 57

Goals scored: 17

Teams played for in UCL: AS Roma.

Highest stage reached in UCL: Quarter-Finals (AS Roma)

The legendary one-club man has played his entire senior career at AS Roma. Apart from this season (2017-18) when he has already retired, the closest Roma and Totti have been to the UCL trophy was in 2007 and 2008 when they exited at quarter-finals.

In 2007, Roma finished the first leg at home with a 2-1 victory over Manchester United. However, in the return leg at Old Trafford, a Ronaldo inspired United trashed them 7-1 to win 8-2 on aggregate.

The very next season, Manchester United once again knocked the Italians out of the competition with a 0-2 victory at Rome, followed by a 1-0 victory in Manchester.
