Players with the most combined appearances for Liverpool and Real Madrid

We take a look at the 10 players who've made the most combined appearances for two of Europe's giants, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

• Steve McManaman (392)

Steve McManaman tops the list, having made 392 combined appearances for Liverpool and Real Madrid.

He played the majority of his games, 259, at the Reds, before moving to the Spanish capital in 1999.

• Xabi Alonso (387)

Arguably one of Liverpool's most talented central midfielders ever, Alonso is second on the list.

The Spanish international made the move from Real Sociedad to Liverpool in 2004, where he was part of the famous UEFA Champions League final win over AC Milan the following year. He left the Reds in 2009 to return to Spain, joining Real Madrid.

• Alvaro Arbeloa (323)

Arbeloa progressed through the Real Madrid youth setup, making 240 senior appearances for Los Blancos.

His time at Liverpool was only short, playing just two seasons for the club between 2007 and 2009.

• Michael Owen (305)

Michael Owen arrived onto the scene at Liverpool in 1996, scoring 136 times for the Reds in 264 games.

His move to Madrid was slightly underwhelming, however, playing just 41 times and leaving to join Newcastle just a season later.

• Fernando Morientes (286)

While Owen's stint stint at Madrid was short, roles were reversed for Morientes, playing just a season for the Reds.

He found the net 89 times for the Spanish side and managed just nine goals for Liverpool.

• Fabinho (250)

Fabinho's presence on this list is heavily down to his stay at the Reds, making 219 appearances and winning the Premier League and UEFA Champions League in this period, amongst other domestic honours.

He played 31 times for Los Blancos, with the majority coming for Real Madrid's reserve team, Real Madrid Castilla.

• Jerzy Dudek (167)

Liverpool's hero in Istanbul in 2005, Jerzy Dudek, played 163 times for the Reds.

He made a move to Madrid in the closing years of his career, playing just four times for the Spanish giants.

• Nicolas Anelka (50)

Anelka enjoyed short spells at both Real Madrid and Liverpool, spending only a single season at both.

He played 20 times for the Reds in his loan spell in 2001/02 and made 30 appearances for Los Blancos.

• Antonio Nunez (34)

Like Anelka, Nunez also had short stays at both clubs.

He left Real Madrid to join Liverpool in 2004, before returning to Spain a year later to play for Celta Vigo.

• Nuri Sahin (19)

Nuri Sahin enjoyed a 16-year career, where he played at the top of European football for Borussia Dortmund.

That said, he struggled to make a real impact at Real Madrid or Liverpool, making a combined 19 appearances for both.
