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?

    Real Madrid are the perpetual main characters of the CL and they’ll probably add quite a few more to their 14 titles in the decades to come. I guess maybe City could do it but it’s a huge difference in titles and winning the CL is very difficult already.

    Milan, Liverpool and Bayern are the closest. If Milan became a powerhouse as they where in the past maybe they can reach this record. But it’s look really hard, Madrid will surely won few champions league again so the record seems too far

      Think Milan are the least likely to reach it of the 3. Just with the difference in financial power between Bayern/Liverpool and Milan that now exists.

        But in 5 years a rich country can invest on them (like PSG in 2012) and they can. Football is not predictable so saying Bayern and Liverpool is more likely to have it i’m not agree, actually the three are the closest to the record that’s all

    Shiteh will only need to win 13 on the bounce to equal it, so it’s possible if the keep cheating. Barce ain’t, bayern ain’t, liverpool and Milan ain’t, unless klopp does another 35 year stint.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Maybe if it was in 2013 other teams had a chance. Now they have doubt the second highest team.
