UEFA Champions League: Who made their debut this week?

Players making their first-ever appearance in Europe’s premier club competition will from this season have the occasion marked with a new UEFA Champions League Debut Patch.

The Debut Patch is a new initiative introduced by UEFA in collaboration with Topps to recognise and celebrate players making their bow in the Champions League. It will be incorporated into the Champions League Starball badge worn on a player’s jersey sleeve.

Here, we keep track of every player to sport the Debut Patch this season after making their maiden appearances in the tournament.
