The UEFA Champions League is the most prestigious of all the football club competitions in the world.

Almost, if not all footballers wish to play the competition and win it, but like the popular saying, “many are called but only few are chosen.”



Call it luck or lack of quality on the side of the player or the team they play in, this write reveals that some players have managed to rack up to 100+ appearances in the competition but yet have been quite unlucky.



To make over 100 appearances in the competition you have to play in the knockout stages or even further in the final, as the group stage is just but 6 games.

Players who have managed the incredible feat of 100 appearances in the UEFA Champions League but still do not have a winners medal.

He also played for three teams in the competition, Parma who he had 6 appearances for, but it was for Juventus he had 113 appearances with three of those coming in the final of the competition while he also had five appearances for PSG.
