Antoine Semenyo has joined an exclusive club in English football by featuring for Manchester City in the Champions League, moving one step closer to matching the unparalleled record held by former Liverpool defender Steve Finnan. Finnan remains the only player to have competed in non-league, all four professional English divisions (Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two), the Europa League, the Champions League, and the FIFA World Cup. Semenyo, now 26, has already played in non-league, all four English pro leagues, and the World Cup with Ghana, with just the Europa League remaining.

His path to this milestone includes a loan spell at Bath City, six seasons in the Championship with Bristol City, and a £64 million move to Manchester City where he has scored seven goals in 13 games. Semenyo's career trajectory mirrors Finnan's extensive journey, though he still needs the UEFA Cup to complete his collection.
