Barcelona’s midfielder Xavi, has broken Raul’s
Champions League record, after making his 143rd
appearance in the competition on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old came on to replace Ivan Rakitic in the
69th minute against Paris Saint Germain at the Parc
des Princes.
Xavi has won the Champions League with Barca three
times in 2006, 2009 and 2011.
He is now ahead of Raul (142), but his new record is
under threat with Iker Casillas set to play his 141st
game in the competition for Real Madrid, when they
face Basel.
Former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs, has
appeared 151 times, but 10 of those came in the
qualifying rounds.
