From Guardiola’s Barcelona sextet to the 3 World Cups won by Pelé, through Paco Gento’s 6 European Cups or the tremendous Cristiano-Messi duel in the Champions League.
Records are present in each of the sports and will always remain as a curious statistic to highlight a specific feat that is difficult to achieve, and on other occasions, even more difficult to overcome. Today we will give a brief review of the 5 records that will hardly be broken in the near future.
Most titles in a single season: FC Barcelona (2009) (6)
We start this list with a record for having the best team that may have ever played football: Guardiola’s Barcelona. This feat was achieved by the Catalan team after having won every competition they played during the 2008/09 season. Were 6 titles in total And, to this day, there is no team that can overcome it. In fact, the only way that a team can surpass this record is for a new European tournament to be created, since otherwise, they could only match the Catalans.
More hat-tricks in the Champions League: Cristiano Ronaldo (8) and Lionel Messi (8)
The fact that these two soccer phenomena coincided at the same time should be a record. For even more morbid, both share the amount of 8 ‘hat-tricks’ each in the history of the Champions League. Although they are evenly matched and both are still active, it will be very difficult to see a player other than them who surpasses this goal mark, since the closest to these active ‘extraterrestrials’ are Neymar (3) and Lewandowski (3).
Most World Cups won by the same player: Pelé (3)
This feat will only be overshadowed if a new football dynasty manages to emerge like that of that overwhelming Brazil that won 3 World Cups in 12 years, only interrupted by England in 1966. The beautiful game is constantly evolving and it’s not like in the past, where the same teams were always the winners. This applies to both clubs and national teams, the ‘boys’ teams being more competitive than in decades of yore. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Skin, He had the joy of winning 3 of the 4 World Cups he played, also having the record of the youngest player to lift the Cup.
Most Champions obtained by the same player: Paco Gento (6)
While we have Cristiano Ronaldo active (one of the followers of this exclusive list of players who have raised multiple Champions), the Portuguese has raised 5 Champions in his career and, if he got the next one with Juventus in Turin, he would barely equal the record of ‘La Galerna del Cantábrico’ with Real Madrid. The former Racing Santander and former merengue has to his credit 6 Champions, obtained in the former dynasty of the White House in European football in the years 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1966
Most goals for the same club: Lionel Messi (650)
The Argentine recently managed to beat the record for the most goals in the same club that belonged to Pele with 643 and, today, after the goal from a direct free kick that scored Athletic Club in the last league match, Messi continues to increase his scoring dynasty with FC Barcelona already adding 650 goals in his career as a culé. This figure will continue to increase until the Rosario decides to leave the Blaugrana ranks and it is a feat that may never be broken.
