Koke has played 100 games in the Champions League

Our captain reached the magical milestone of 100 games in the rojiblanca jersey, becoming the first Atlético player to reach this number of games in the continent's top-level competition.

Jorge Resurrección, Koke, continues to make history for Atlético de Madrid. In addition to being the player with the highest number of appearances wearing the rojiblanca and overtaking the legendary Adelardo Rodríguez, he played his 100th match for Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, the highest player in this ranking, who is also the leader if we take into account the other European matches, in the Europa League and the European Super Cup, which means his total total is 131. With this number he is also the player who has played the most matches wearing the rojiblanca jersey in all European competitions.

Koke is a 'One Club Man' for Atlético de Madrid, having joined the youth sector and rose through the Academy before making his first-team debut against Barcelona at Camp Nou in 2009. With the first team he has won 8 trophies, the same number as Diego Pablo Simeone. This consists of two league titles, one Copa del Rey, one Spanish Super Cup, two Europa Leagues and two European Super Cups.

Another player who also played 100 matches in the Champions League before the match against Sparta Prague was Antoine Griezmann, but not all matches were played in the rojiblanca shirt. The France international played 78 games for Atlético, eight for Real Sociedad and fourteen for Barcelona.

The two players did not start against Sparta Prague, but they showed their importance in the second half. For example, the Frenchman scored the fourth goal of the match against the Czech Republic.
