Who has played 100 Champions League games?

David Alaba is the newest name on the illustrious list of players to have amassed 100 or more appearances in the UEFA Champions League, having become the competition's 45th centurion.

The Real Madrid defender reached the milestone in his team's quarter-final first-leg victory at Chelsea in April 2022. Alaba brought up his century 12 years after his first appearance in the competition proper, his debut coming for Bayern München against Fiorentina in the round of 16 second leg on 9 March 2010.

Alaba was the fifth player in 2021/22 to reach treble figures for appearances in the competition after Madrid team-mates Marcelo and Luka Modrić, Fernandinho of Manchester City plus Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski, who marked his 100th game by burying a hat-trick. In doing so, the Poland captain became just the sixth player to register on his century outing, after Toni Kroos, Andrea Pirlo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimović and Thierry Henry.
