Other Big Games are knockout matches only — quarter-finals through the final — in the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, World Cup and European Championship. Appearances count those who started, plus anyone who scored as a substitute. Assists are not in the UEFA match feed, so they are not shown. Domestic cups and South America will follow. League splits stay league-only. Glossary.
