Former Real Madrid goal keeper,
Iker Casillas,
became the first player to participate in 20 UEFA Champions League
seasons following his team’s 1-1 draw against Schalke 04 on Tuesday.
The
Porto stopper, broke the record when he played for his side in their
Champions League opening Group D match against Gelsenkirchen.
Gelsenkirchen had opened the game through a goal from Swiss striker,
Breel Embolo, however, Porto, equalized through Otavio in 75th minutes from the spot.
Casillas broke the record going beyond Manchester Uniter legend,
Ryan Giggs, who played in 19 Champions League campaigns.
Casillas
has won the competition three times: in 1999/00, 2001/02 and most
recently in 2013/14, all of which came while he was playing for Madrid.
