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?
Man citeh is coming for them.
Anything is possible but it can’t be just any team, it’d have to be a combination of some disastrous and crippling event at Real that renders them unable to keep buildings teams specifically to win CLs and another team to fill their niche, a club that is hell-bent on building Champions League-winning squads for years to come.
Maybe another team overtaking the 14 but overtaking Real overall including whatever they win is going to be difficult.
When you think about how long it took Pep to win another CL after he left Barca despite being completely supported financially at his latter clubs, and also seeing how much money PSG has thrown at it without winning it…it just seems extremely tough for anyone to catch RM.
I think the time period may need to be over 100 years for it to happen realistically.
Is it possible, yes, very. Chances of it happening less than 5%.
No, and I find it funny that Man City spent over a billion to win the same amount of champion leagues as celtic
Cant think of any other team than City, if they keep up current level of management I can see them overtaking RM in 50 years. But RM wont stay sleep either, their focus on CL is something else, if they go 2 season without winning its treated as major crisis.
absolutely no chance. i can’t see anyone getting to 14 but if they do - madrid will be on 30.
I know nothing is impossible but that is. At least in our lifetime.
Unless a team could win the cl once every 4 years but the kind of consistency is impossible
It’s very unlikely.
The next closest are Milan and the chances of them being in it on a consistent enough basis AND being good enough is a long shot to more than double their current haul.
Liverpool are in a very competitive league where an iffy season can see you out of it, but even if they do maintain the high level they’ve been at for the last 6 years, it’d still be very unlikely they’d catch up before Madrid won another. Hell, even if they’d won the two recent finals they’d played them in, they’d still be 4 behind.
Bayern is the most likely as they have the right mix of monopoly over their league to cherry pick the best of it while still have it be competitive enough to be sharp and be in it consistently. However, 8 titles is… a big, big gap.
All the others aren’t even worth considering.
In reality, they did win 5 of those titles at a time when it wasn’t really seen as a serious competition and that’s what will keep them ahead essentially forever.
Records are there to be broken … Man City or PSG could all break thru that glass ceiling and go in a huge run … Newcastle even …
I think Bayern is coming closest.
I’m a Bayern fan however based on the top 5 teams with most cl’s, 1 Bayern is best vs Madrid (statistically in cl) and Bayern is the most consistent. Excluding Madrid out of the top 5 obvs
Assuming CL concept will last for another 50-60 years, you mean. Cute.
Maybe if it was in 2013 other teams had a chance. Now they have doubt the second highest team.
