La Roma in Champions: Who are the players with the most appearances in the competition?

AS Roma is set to make its return to the UEFA Champions League this Thursday, marking their first appearance in Europe's premier club competition in seven years. The squad has undergone significant changes since their last participation, which ended with elimination in the Round of 16 by Porto. Only two players from that campaign, Pellegrini and Cristante, remain.

Many players are poised to make their debut in the competition, earning the special collectible debut patches by Topps. These include Mancini, Ghilardi, Koné, Wesley, Rodrigo Mora, Pisilli, Lulli, and Koulierakis.
