Only a small elite group of players have reached the mark of six Champions League / European Cup titles and have appeared in all the finals they won.
They are legendary figures, mostly connected to Real Madrid’s history, both past and present.
The Players & When They Won
- Paco Gento
- The first to win six European Cups.
- Titles came with Real Madrid in years: 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1966.
- All his wins came in the older European Cup format, before it was rebranded and reorganised into Champions League.
- Toni Kroos

These five are currently the only players who have won six Champions League / European Cup titles and appeared in all the finals they won.
