4. Real Madrid – 79 trophies Real Madrid are, without doubt, probably the most recognisable team on the planet. They have been a force in European football since the 1950s, where they won the first 5 European Cups consecutively. Many well-known players have played for this great club, such as Alfredo Di Stefano, Hugo Sanchez, Raul, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane etc. Madrid, for most of their history, have had to battle it out with fierce rivals Barcelona for domestic honours, yet have still managed to win 32 league titles, 19 Spanish Cups, the Champions League a staggering 10 times, the UEFA cup twice, as well as several Spanish and European Super Cups and World Club Cups. 3. FC Barcelona – 81 trophies I was actually surprised to find out that Barcelona edged out Real Madrid in terms of total trophies won. What surprised me even more was finding out that Barcelona are the only European team to never fail to qualify for a European competition since the onset of European completion in 1955. Barcelona are quite far behind Real Madrid in terms of league titles having won 22, however they hold the records for most Spanish Cups (26), most Spanish Super Cups (11), most UEFA Cup Winners Cups (4), most Inter-Cities Fairs Cups (3), most UEFA Super Cups (4) and most FIFA World Club Cups (2). 2. Celtic Glasgow – 96 trophies In 2nd place is, this club from Scotland. I knew Celtic had won a lot of titles, but I was still surprised to see them so high on this list. Whilst Celtic fall behind Rangers in terms of league titles and overall honours, they have managed to win the European cup on one occasion, being the first British club to win the most prestigious award in Europe in 1967. Overall, Celtic have won 45 league titles, a record 36 Scottish cups, and 14 Scottish league cups. 1. Glasgow Rangers – 117 trophies Surprisingly enough, the most successful European club is another from Scotland. And not just another from Scotland, but another from Glasgow. Coincidence? Not really, as Rangers & Celtic have both utterly dominated Scottish football albeit for a brief spell in the 80s where Aberdeen came into force when they were managed by the then little-known Alex Ferguson. Having won an incredible 54 top division titles, along with 33 Scottish Cups & 27 Scottish League Cups, as well as a European Cup Winners Cup (and 2 lower division titles), Rangers lead the way with 117 major honours
