Looking at the statistics more closely, Bayern Munich have 16 members of their squad called up and Manchester United – despite a dismal campaign – 14.
In joint third place with 13 players are four clubs: Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Napoli.
However, if the Partenopei add the players they currently own who are on loan elsewhere, then that figure rises to 16.
The statistics do not include Argentina goalkeeper Mariano Andujar (Catania), Colombia midfielder Pablo Armero (West Ham) and Chile forward Edu Vargas (Valencia).
It’s already a new club record for Napoli, as their previous high was six players at the 1990 World Cup.
