Yesterday's Champions League semi-final return leg against Manchester City (0:4) saw the Italian specialist become the 191st in the major European competition, which enabled him to surpass the previous record holder in this indicator - the legendary Scot Alex Ferguson, known for his long-serving partnership with Manchester United. The latter has made 190 Champions League appearances.

Third on the Champions League scoring list is France's Arsène Wenger (184 games), fourth is Spain's Josep Guardiola (160).
