#4 Barcelona (Spain) - 34 trophies

Barcelona have a plethora of trophies

Barcelona are one of the biggest teams in European club football.

The first team to win multiple continental trebles, the Blaugrana have won ten La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies since the turn of the century.

Buoyed by the singular brilliance of Lionel Messi, Barcelona arguably enjoyed the most prolific spell in their history under Pep Guardiola's tutelage between 2008 and 2011. The Catalan giants won a staggering six titles in a year amidst a plethora of domestic and continental honours during this period.

Despite captain Messi leading from the front, Barcelona endured their first trophyless campaign in more than a decade last season. They haven't fared better under new manager Ronald Koeman this season, slumping to consecutive three-goal reverses in Europe and lying eight points behind La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid.
