The 2020 Champions league edition whose final rounds take place in Lisbon, offers us an unexpected novelty. For the first time in French football history, two clubs have reached the CL semi-finals: Paris-Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais. This is the second time both clubs reach this stage. However, AS Monaco still hold the record for the most semi-finales reached with **** appearances, including one final in 2004.
The Champions league gathers the best football clubs and players in the world. There, competition is at its peak. In the ranking of players with the most appearances in CL history, none is French, nor has played for a French club.
