Four Real Madrid legends can now claim they have the most Champions League trophies in history, with six each to their name. The same number as Bayern Munich and Liverpool each. And one more than rivals Barcelona in their entire history.
After defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley Stadium to earn their 15th Champions League trophy, Real Madrid have made history once again.
Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Dani Carvajal and Nacho Fernandez have all won six Champions League trophies each, the most of all-time. And for Kroos, it will be his last as he is set to retire from football after the Euros. The same could be said for Nacho, who is also set to leave the club in June.

Carvajal produced a man of the match performance in the 2024 finals, keeping a clean sheet and scoring the opening goal to help Madrid win the title. And he is most likely to make it seven, since he is the youngest of the lot at 32, and could easily stay for a few more years.
Modric will also stay at the club for one more season, after which he could retire from football. The Croatian is still going strong at 38, and will sign an extension to keep him at Madrid until 2025.
Only Toni Kroos has won one Champions League title with Bayern Munich in 2013 alongside five with Madrid. The rest have all lifted the trophy in the famous white shirt. And if they win number 16 next season, Modric and Carvajal could rise ahead of the group as the only players to lift seven.
