The Champions League is currently in the knockout stages, with 16 teams all working hard for the final title. Recently, the media announced the historical assist list of the Champions League knockout rounds, let's take a look!
Messi, Alves, Xavi, 14 assists
Messi, Alves and Xavi are all the main members of Barca's golden generation, of which Messi and Xavi have won 4 Champions League titles together, and Alves joined Barca in 2008 and also won 3 Champions League titles with the team.
Iniesta, Giggs, 15 assists
Iniesta is also the main midfielder of Barca's golden generation, known for his excellent dribbling ability and passing ability, winning 9 La Liga titles and 4 Champions League titles in his career.
Originally from Wales, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs has played 963 games for United, the most appearances in the team's history, and the other 162 assists are also ranked first in Premier League history. Giggs has won two Champions League titles in his career and has delivered a total of 15 assists in the knockout stages, tied with Iniesta.
Ribery, 16 assists
Ribery spent the golden years of his career at Bayern and won the Champions League in the 12-13 season. Although the number of champions is not as good as the above few, Bayern can qualify for the knockout rounds every year, and Ribery's number of assists ranks second in history.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 17 assists
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Champions League five times in his career, ranking second in history. In addition, his goals, assists, knockout goals, and knockout assists all ranked first in history. Ronaldo Ronaldo during the Real Madrid period is definitely the best striker in world football, and now that he has come to Manchester United, the team's performance is more difficult, but he has reached the Champions League knockout round, and I hope that Ronaldo can continue to work hard and fight for his sixth Champions League trophy.
Among the above players, only Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alves, Ribery and others are still playing, but Barca have fallen into the Europa League this season and may not necessarily qualify for the Champions League next season. Ribery's Salernitana has been relegated this season, and there is no hope in the Champions League. In this way, only Messi and C Ronaldo still hope to continue to set records.
