Top 18 Footballers with the Most Trophies in History

Famous names like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Karim Benzema have collected an impressive number of trophies over their careers. This list ranks football's most decorated players by the total number of silverware won.

Many dream of lifting as many trophies as possible, but even great players sometimes have sparse trophy cabinets. Legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have consistently guided their teams to numerous titles throughout lengthy careers. Others, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, combined talent with moves to historically successful clubs to amass impressive collections.

18. Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 32 trophies

The Swedish striker won titles in five countries: the Netherlands (Ajax), Italy (Inter Milan, AC Milan), Spain (Barcelona), France (Paris Saint-Germain), and England (Manchester United). He won nearly every major trophy except the Champions League. His place would be higher without Juventus’ revoked Serie A titles from 2004/05 and 2005/06. Ibrahimovic retired in 2023 but remains involved in football ownership.
