Real Madrid are by far the biggest club in world football, with some of the best players in the world dreaming of putting on the white shirt. The club has a long history of winning trophies, with Los Merengues claiming the UEFA Champions League a record 14 times in their history. And in this article, we will be taking a look at the most successful players in their history, with the most trophies to their name.
Top 5 Real Madrid players with the most trophies
=5. Paco Gento and Dani Carvajal – 23 titles
Paco Gento is one of the icons of the club, playing for them in the 50s and 60s. He won six European Cups with the club, while also winning LaLiga fourteen times. Playing as an outside left during his time at the club, he was one of the best in the world during his time. He was later named the honorary president of the club for his contribution, before passing away in 2022.
Carvajal, on the other hand, has the potential to surpass every player on the list, aged 32. He could be on course to lift the league title at the end of the season, that would see him step one title away from being at the top of the list.
=4. Nacho and Luka Modric – 24 titles
Modric has etched himself into Real Madrid history over the past decade, and has set himself apart as one of the best midfielders in history with his continuous brilliance. He won the Ballon d’or in 2018 for guiding Croatia to the World Cup finals, and has a shot at moving up the list in what could be his final season at the club.
Nacho, similarly, has been a mainstay at the club over the past decade. Although he hasn’t always been a starter, his steady presence has been vital in helping out the club in injury crises and providing stability.
=1. Marcelo and Karim Benzema – 25 titles
Marcelo and Karim Benzema are tied for the most titles won as a Real Madrid player at 25. The two were a vital part of their five Champions League title wins over the past decade, with Benzema almost single-handedly carrying them to their fourteenth.
However, both legends have now moved on from the club, with a quarter of a century of medals to their name.
