Champions League - Arsenal v Bayern Munich — The Arsenal legend also has won the World Cup with France

UCL Appearances: 76

Goals scored: 3

Teams played for in UCL: Arsenal, Juventus, Internazionale.

Highest stage reached in UCL: Quarter-Finals (Arsenal, Juventus).

The three-time Premier League winner with Arsenal and four-times Serie A winner with Juventus has played in the two of the best teams in England and Italy respectively at that time but failed to pick up the UCL winners' medal both the time.

Unfortunately, he has never managed to get past the quarter-finals, crashing out thrice - twice with Arsenal in 2001 and 2004 and once with Juventus in 2006.

As luck may be, the World Cup winner left Arsenal 12 months before they reached the UCL final in 2006 and departed in January 2010 before Inter won it in 2010.
