Llull stepped onto the court with 2:50 minutes left in the first quarter of Real Madrid's Round 19 win against FC Bayern Munich, marking his 426th game in the competition.
Coming into Round 19, Llull was tied with four-time EuroLeague champion Kyle Hines, who retired this past summer, with 425 appearances. Two other players have gone past 400 games in EuroLeague history: Kostas Sloukas played his 406th game tonight, going past Sergio Rodriguez, who also retired during the 2024 offseason and totaled 405 EuroLeague appearances.
At age 37, Llull’s name is all over the EuroLeague and Real Madrid record books.

Most recently, Llull become the all-time leader in minutes played in the competition with over 9,410 minutes. Llull also fifth in scoring with 4,071 points and sixth in assists with 1,430.
