Europa League records: Players

Most appearances in the Europa League knockouts

Four-time Europa League winner Kevin Gameiro, four-time finalist Eduardo Salvio and now forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang share the record for most appearances in the knockout stages.

Frenchman Gameiro made 39 appearances across five season between 2013/14 and 2018/19, lifting the trophy four times with Sevilla and Atlético before reaching the semis with Valencia.

Salvio's 39 games took place from 2009/10 and 2018/19, the Argentina winger winning the title twice with Atleti and twice finishing runners-up with Benfica. He only made five group stage appearances.

Aubameyang has represented four clubs in the competition, most recently Marseille.

    2012 final: Radamel Falcao helps Atlético to glory

    There have been 24 hat-tricks in the Europa League knockout stages over the years but only Falcao has gone one better with four, or a 'poker' as it's known in Spain and Portugal. That came in the 2011 semi-finals, when the Colombian struck four second-half goals as Porto came from behind to stun Villarreal 5-1 in the first leg. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is the only other man to score two Europa League knockout hat-tricks.
