It’s one thing to have talent. It’s another to stack silverware year after year until your living room starts to resemble a UEFA showroom. Over decades, a rare breed of footballers have done exactly that, winning just about everything on offer, often more than once.

These aren’t just stars; they’re trophy hoarders, stat-sheet destroyers, and walking museums of footballing history. We're counting down the Players with the Most Trophies Ever, based not on vibes but on actual medals, league titles, cups, and international glory.



Below Are The Most Successful Footballers in History by Trophy Count - Major Honours Included


10. Ryan Giggs – 35 Trophies

  • 13 Premier League titles

  • 4 FA Cups

  • 4 League Cups

  • 2 UEFA Champions Leagues (1999, 2008)

Before Ronaldo, before Messi – there was Giggs, marauding down the Old Trafford left flank like a man possessed. From his Manchester United debut in 1991 until his retirement in 2014, Giggs won everything. And we mean everything.



Under Sir Alex Ferguson, he scooped up 13 Premier League titles, starting with the inaugural 1992–93 season, and ending with the 2012–13 campaign. Add to that 4 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, and 2 Champions League titles (1999, 2008). That’s not a career, that’s a royal collection.

=10. Kenny Dalglish – 35 Trophies

  • 4 Scottish league titles with Celtic

  • 6 English First Division titles with Liverpool

  • 3 European Cups / UCL (1978, 1981, 1984)

  • And a cheeky Premier League as Blackburn Rovers manager in 1995

“King Kenny” didn’t just rule Anfield; he conquered British football. Starting at Celtic in the early ‘70s, Dalglish had already hoisted every Scottish trophy before crossing the border to Liverpool in 1977.



With the Reds, he won 6 English league titles, 3 European Cups (back when they meant life or death), and even managed to deliver Premier League gold as Blackburn Rovers manager in 1995. He was a game-changer on the pitch and a serial winner off it.


=10. David Alaba – 35 Trophies

  • 10 Bundesliga titles

  • 4 UEFA Champions League (2013, 2020)

  • 2 La Liga titles (2022, 2024)

Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be. At 32, Alaba has more trophies than most clubs dream of. A lynchpin at Bayern Munich for over a decade, the Austrian won 10 Bundesliga titles, 6 DFB-Pokals, and 2 Champions Leagues (2013, 2020).



Then he strolled into Real Madrid in 2021 and promptly added 2 La Liga titles and 2 more Champions League medals (in 2022 and 2024). Injuries may have slowed him lately, but the cabinet is already bursting.

7. Cristiano Ronaldo – 36 Trophies

  • 3 Premier Leagues, 2 La Ligas, 2 Serie A titles

  • 5 UEFA Champions Leagues

  • UEFA Euro 2016

  • UEFA Nations League 2019 and 2025

Yes, the inevitable. Even at 40, CR7 won’t quit, and he just added Portugal’s 2025 Nations League title with his 132nd international goal.



He’s collected 3 Premier League titles with Manchester United, 2 La Liga and 4 Champions League medals with Real Madrid, 2 Serie A crowns with Juventus, and notched his country’s first Euro title in 2016. He’s the footballing Terminator, except the shinier one.

=6. Sergio Busquets – 37 Trophies

  • 9 La Liga titles

  • 3 Champions League medals

  • 1 World Cup (2010)

  • Euro 2012

  • Recently: trophies with Inter Miami (he’s now winning beachside)

Not flashy, not loud, just absurdly effective. From 2008 to 2023, Busquets anchored Barcelona’s midfield, winning 9 La Liga titles, 7 Copas del Rey, and 3 Champions Leagues.



And let’s not forget the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, where Spain’s midfield made grown men cry. He’s still winning, by the way, he is now scooping up hardware with Inter Miami in the MLS. The man doesn’t stop.

=6. Gerard Piqué – 37 Trophies

  • 1 Premier League title

  • 9 La Liga titles

  • 3 Champions League wins

  • 1 World Cup (2010)

  • Euro 2012

From fringe player at Manchester United to defensive titan at Barcelona, Piqué reinvented himself in style. After rejoining Barça in 2008, he helped secure 9 La Liga titles, 7 Spanish Cups, and 3 Champions League wins.



Toss in a World Cup (2010) and European Championship (2012), and you’re looking at one of the All-Time Football Legends with the Highest Number of Career Titles. For a guy once doubted in the Premier League, that’s poetic justice.


=6. Andrés Iniesta – 37 Trophies

  • 4 Champions Leagues

  • 9 La Liga titles

  • 2 Euros (2008, 2012)

  • 1 World Cup (2010)

You know him for that goal, the 116th-minute World Cup winner against the Netherlands in 2010 at Soccer City in Johannesburg, South Africa. But Iniesta’s career is a treasure chest.



From 2002 to 2018 at Barcelona, he was the heartbeat of their tiki-taka era, earning 9 La Liga titles, 6 Copas, and 4 Champions League medals. Add 2 Euros and a World Cup, and voila, footballing immortality. And he even kept winning in Japan and the UAE. Maestro, magician, legend.

3. Hossam Ashour – 39 Trophies

  • 13 Egyptian Premier League titles

  • 6 CAF Champions League

  • 4 Egypt Cups

Bet you didn’t expect this name. But the former Al Ahly captain is an Egyptian trophy magnet. From 2004 to 2020, he racked up 13 Egyptian Premier League titles, 6 CAF Champions Leagues, and 4 national cups.



While his international resume is modest (14 caps for Egypt), his club dominance is undisputed. Sometimes greatness comes quietly, in Ashour’s case, with a warehouse full of medals.


2. Dani Alves – 43 Trophies

  • 23 titles at Barcelona (yes, 23!)

  • Serie A with Juventus

  • Ligue 1 with PSG

  • 2 Copa Americas

  • Olympic Gold (Tokyo 2020)

The definition of a serial winner. One of the best Barcelona right-backs of all-time. Alves did it in Spain, Italy, France, and Brazil, and just for fun, tossed in Olympic gold (2020) and 2 Copas America.

At Barcelona alone, he picked up 6 La Liga titles and 3 Champions League medals. He also grabbed Serie A with Juventus and Ligue 1 with PSG. With 900 matches played and enough silverware to tile a small palace, Alves made sure his legacy wasn’t just loud, it was global.

1. Lionel Messi – 46 Trophies

  • 10 La Liga titles

  • 7 Copa del Rey wins

  • 4 Champions League titles

  • Copa America 2021

  • FIFA World Cup 2022

  • Copa America 2024

  • Olympic Gold (2008)

Who else? The little magician finally crowned his legacy with a World Cup win in 2022, the last, glittering jewel in the most decorated career ever.



Messi racked up 10 La Liga titles, 7 Copas del Rey, and 4 Champions Leagues with Barcelona. He added 2 Ligue 1 titles at PSG, a Copa America (2021), another in 2024, and even bagged Olympic gold (2008). There’s dominance, and then there’s Messi. An icon who didn’t just break records, he made new ones.

These all-ime football legends with the highest number of career titles didn’t just play, they conquered. Whether it was Giggs building dynasties in Manchester, Ashour ruling Egypt, or Messi rewriting history, each player on this list has reshaped the game in their own way.
