10 players with the most Champions League appearances

#2 Xavi Hernández

La Computadora, as Xavi is fondly called, now plays for Qatari club Al-Sadd SC

Appearances: 157 (still playing)

Goals scored: 12

Trophies won: 4 (2005–06, 2008–09, 2010–11, 2014–15)

Teams played for in Champions League: FC Barcelona.

Now 38, there is very little chance that Xavi Hernández might grace the European pitch again. However, until 2015, Xavi has seen enough European nights to make it difficult for any other player to reach his milestone feat.

Another La Masia graduate, Xavi set the European stage on fire with his lethal partnership with Andres Iniesta. Fortuitous to have a stellar line-up around him and equally excellent coaches, Xavi has won the trophy four times while making a whopping 157 appearances!
