Brazilian players with 40+ UEFA Champions League appearances from 2010 to 2020

Brazil is famously a hotbed for developing elite footballing talent with star names such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Neymar emerging from the country in the last two decades alone.

European football remains the prime destination for many of the top Brazilian football exports and the UEFA Champions League is the top football competition on the continent.

Many Brazilian superstars have lit up the tournament over the years, and we take a look at the players to make more than 40 appearances in the competition between the years 2010 and 2020.

There are plenty of legendary Brazilian names that have lifted Europe's most famous club football trophy over the years, but few have claimed those honours as many times as Real Madrid left-back Marcelo.

The defender spent the bulk of his career at Los Blancos and earned five UEFA Champions League winners' medals in his time in Madrid. His team-mate Casemiro matches that record however, with the central midfielder part of the same elite side that won the title four time in five seasons.

Meanwhile, the man plying his trade on the other side of the Brazil defence, right-back Dani Alves, won three titles during his time at Barcelona.

Former Barcelona and PSG star Neymar, despite his incredible goal-scoring record with the national side, only lifted the coveted trophy once in his career.
