• Which player has played on the losing side in the European CUp/Champion

    From MH@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 18 12:02:56 2023
    So far my leading candidate is Evra, who lost 4 times, with three
    different teams.

    Can anyone better that ?

    Transfermarkt has a list, but their database only counts Champions League wins, so one has to correct for that (e.g. Maldini has 8 appearances - correct - but only
    three wins assigned - incorrect, two of his wins were pre-1993, so he has lost three
    finals, not five).

    Evra's four losses appear indeed to be the record.

    Quite a lot of people on 3 (Maldini, Davids, Del Piero, van der Sar, a bunch of Benfica
    players between 1963 and 1968,...).


    Ciao,
    Werner
