Champions League
Top 10 players with the most Champions League titles. Real Madrid footballers dominate
The Champions League is the most prestigious club competition and every player wants to win it at least once. Several footballers have done it five times, and these chosen ones have one thing in common – they play or have played for Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo has long been the king of the Champions League, having dominated the millionaire competition five times, once with Manchester United and four times with Real Madrid.
But when it comes to the overall European Cups, there is another king. The PMEZ Cup, the predecessor of the Champions League, has been won six times by legendary Real Madrid winger Paco Gento. But let’s focus on the Champions League in its own right.
Ronaldo was king until May 2022. That day in Paris, Real Madrid beat Liverpool in the Champions League final and a generation of players who celebrated titles with Ronaldo from 2013-2018 matched him.
Real Madrid benefited from this era of players, and thanks to the fact that the squad stabilized and managed to win the Eared Cup five times in 8 years, it is Los Blancos players who dominate this statistic.
Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric and Carvajal are in the top four places as only these four players have hit all the final matches.
Marcelo, Isco, Gareth Bale and Nacho did not hit the final in 2022, Toni Kroos did not play in the final in 2013 and Casemiro did not play in the final in 2014.
It doesn’t devalue their triumphs, as they have featured in the competition and so the triumph counts, but the top four have it a little more valuable after all.
