Which Austrian players have the most appearances and goals in Europe's leading club competition?

Austrian quartet Marcel Sabitzer, David Alaba, Konrad Laimer and Marko Arnautović

No Austrian team has ever reached the final of the UEFA European Cup/Champions League but two players have tasted glory in the competition*. David Alaba won finals with Bayern München in 2013 and 2020 before claiming his third crown with Real Madrid in 2022. Before him, Franz Hasil started in the Feyenoord team that defeated Celtic in 1970.

*For the purposes of this article, players are credited with a UEFA European Cup/Champions League title only if they make an appearance in the final itself.
