Reaching the summit of European football is a dream for many players, but very few have managed to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy on five separate occasions.
Doing so requires not only individual brilliance but also longevity, consistency, and the ability to deliver on the grandest stage of all — the final itself.
Here are the players who have written their names in history by winning five Champions League finals:
Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese superstar was the first player in the modern era to claim five ChampionsLeague final victories.
His journey began in 2008 when he scored for Manchester United in the final against Chelsea.
After moving to Real Madrid, Ronaldo added four more titles, becoming the face of Madrid’s European dominance between 2014 and 2018.
Karim Benzema
For over a decade, Benzema was the heartbeat of Real Madrid’s attack.
He claimed his first Champions League final win in 2014 and went on to add victories in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
His fifth came in 2022, where he captained Los Blancos to glory in Paris.
Benzema’s consistency in decisive moments cemented his place as one of Madrid’s greatest strikers.
