Real Madrid currently have won 14 CL titles, do you think in the next 50-60 years, any club could have overtaken them in the record or they’d continue to reign?
Their team is currently in transition, but with assembly of young stars like Vini, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Endrick, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Valverde, Militao, Guler and potentially Davies + Mbappe in 2024 may get them more CL wins in this decade alone!
Do you think any team can overtake them in most CLs won by our lifetime or is the gap too big to overcome?
To everyone saying they’re so consistent and win one so often. They went 10 years without winning one between 02/03-12/13. They’re will be more droughts most likely where other’s with catch up.
There’s no other club in world football where not winning a CL in 10 years would be considered a ‘drought’ and that probably answers OPs question. Other teams might make up ground but if you were to bet on which team wins the most CLs in the next 20 years Real Madrid would probably be favourite. If they were 2 or 3 ahead then maybe I could see it but they’re miles clear
Yeah but no other club has had two-three generations of galacticos too. They probably have spent the most money out of all the clubs too alongside United.
They had a 30 years drought even before that. I am not saying they will be surpassed but the argument that they’re consistent is not that valid since most of their titles have been won in short periods of complete dominance (1950s and 2010s).
Almost the point I was trying to make. Yours is even better.
You think 10 years without winning the UCL is too much?
For a team who spent as much as they did? For sure.
The droughts are “droughts” though. In 68 CLs, RM has won 14, or 20.6% of CLs. they have reached 17 finals, meaning 25%, and They have reached Semis and lost in 15. Out of 68 CLs, RM have been top 4 in 47% of them. that is insane
I didn’t realize that they were actually one of organizers of the original tournament and that it was invite only. Apparently the better European teams often declined the invite because it was akin to a preseason tourney with little to no prestige. Certainly puts their first 5 trophies in a different light…
