Who is the most successful footballer in the history of the game?

That answer differs depending on which trophies you count.

Do you include every single trophy in world football? Or do you just count the big ones?

Well, here at GIVEMESPORT, we’ve tried to work out the most decorated player ever in the fairest possible way.

We’ve decided to only count club honours. And also, players must have played in Europe for at least one season.

Using that criteria, it leaves just 12 players that have won 30 or more major trophies.
