Thomas Müller reached the mark of 163 games in the Champions League during the match against Inter Milan. With this participation, the German player matched Lionel Messi's record in the European competition.

Both players are thus tied in second place in the ranking of most matches played in the Champions League. Müller, who plays for Bayern Munich, has been an important figure in the recent history of the competition.

Above these two players, there is only one name at the top of this statistic: Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese continues to lead alone the ranking of games played in the Champions League.

Müller's feat happened in a match against Inter Milan, reinforcing his position as one of the most consistent players in the history of the main European club competition.
