Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In leading out Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, John Terry became the most experienced Englishman to play in the Champions League.
Terry, 34, was making his 107th start for the Blues in the competition, which replaced the European Cup in 1992, to take him past former Manchester United maestro Paul Scholes, who made 106 starts.
Another Manchester United legend, Gary Neville, shares third place with former England left-back Ashley Cole, who played in the competition with Arsenal and Chelsea - the pair of full backs made 103 starts in the competition each.
The fifth Englishman on the list is another former England captain, David Beckham.
He made 98 starts for Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and PSG.
Terry won the competition in 2012, although he was suspended for the final against Bayern Munich, while he infamously missed a penalty as Chelsea lost to Manchester United on a rainy night in Moscow in 2008.
