Juventus full-back Patrice Evra has become the first player to lose four separate UEFA Champions League finals.

Juve were beaten 3-1 by FC Barcelona in Berlin on Saturday evening, Evra playing until his 89th-minute substitution. The France defender had already featured in final defeats for AS Monaco FC (2004) and Manchester United FC (2009, 2011), the latter two losses also coming against Barcelona. Seven other players have been involved in three losing deciders in Europe's premier club competition.
