Ronaldo (166) is 15 behind Casillas record in the Champions League and Messi(135) may beat Maldini and Raúl this season.
With Porto eliminated from the Champions League in the previous phase and Iker Casillas away from football, there are only two players participating in this edition that can increase their number of games in the Champions League.
Cristiano Ronaldo is second with 166 presences to 15 of the Spanish goalkeeper's record, while Leo Messi is seventh with 135 meetings four from Paolo Maldini and nine from Raul.
Both are the only ones he could overcome if he reaches the final in Istanbul. Ryan Giggs (151) and Xavi Hernández (157), Barca record man, are still far away.
In the 'top ten', Andrés Iniesta, eighth with 132, is also active but plays in the Japanese Vissel Kobe.

Barca Fan are like new born babies always love to argue 😪🤸🤣🤣 CR7 is the best footballer ever , One he can play it any club and still break records and for is country he has broken records and still scoring goals , But Messi nothing for his country then world cup finals which he has nothing good in returns for his country is that a victory the country wants from the almighty Messi? CR7 might not reach the world cup finals but he has done more then enough within his powers then know footballer in his country can boots of , But Messi some fees has the. more then him , so Barca fans seat down and start thinking normal as an adults because we all knows that he can't leave Barca and join any other club , and if he does then that will be his end of his Career, If you think it a lie the. you berca fans should beg the club president to loan Messi out for just two weeks and see what will happen to him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I hate responding to kids that are supporting berca with know understanding makes me think kids have no Sense 🤣🤣🤣Hate him or love him is the best and he has proven other great footballers wrong 100times better than Messi 😎😎😎CR7❤️
