Every player dreams of winning the Champions League, the most elite football club competition in the world. Some footballers have mastered this game, and the strongest clubs have had them in their squads, so they have lifted this trophy more than once.
These clubs are record holders for every bit of this game. And the same goes for the players with most Champions League titles in history. In fact, you’ll be surprised by their number, and maybe not so surprised when you see which club they used to play when winning the trophy.
Carvajal and Modric (Six)
Mordic and Carvajal have been part of Real Madrid for 12 and 11 years, respectively. A well-known fact is that Los Blancos are the team with the biggest number of CL titles in the history of this sport.
But what’s a lot more surprising is that both of these players won all six trophies with Real Madrid. If we do the maths, we will realise that Los Blancos won this contest every two years on average in this timespan, which is absolutely stunning.
Both Modric and Carvajal’s position does not reveal their real contribution through goals and assists. Instead, these footballers went down in history as the players with most Champions Leagues by absolutely ruling the midfield and the right-back lines.
C.Ronaldo, Benzema, and Kroos (Five)
As you start to realise now, Real Madrid is the club with the most Champions League titles by player. So, it’s no wonder that Benzema and Kroos have five Champion League titles with Los Blancos.
Technically speaking, Kroos was a Bayern Munich player when this club won the Champions League. However, he didn’t take part in the finals. Another player with the most Champions League titles is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Although the Portuguese won one title with Man Utd, he still got as many as four trophies with Los Blancos. Toni Kroos retired this year after the Euro, while Benzema and Ronaldo still play in Saudi Arabia.
Bale, Casemiro, Isco, Marcelo, Ramos, Seedorf, Iniesta (Four)
Seven players have won this competition four times. You may have guessed it already: Bale, Casemiro, Isco, Marcelo, and Ramos are all Real Madrid players.
One of the remaining players from the list, Iniesta, played for Barcelona each time he lifted the Champions League trophy. On the other hand, Seedorf is one of the players with most Champions League titles, who won this contest with three different clubs.
The Dutch even celebrated the CL victory with Milan twice. These two trophies with Milan were also his latest ones (in 2003 and 2007). Before that, Seedorf won the Champions League title with Los Blancos in 1998.
Going backwards, the Dutch had his first CL trophy in 1995 with Ajax. Seedorf contributed greatly to winning this trophy and helped Ajax become one of the most successful clubs in the Netherlands and Europe.
