5 players whose trophy count might be impossible for Cristiano Ronaldo to equal

#1 Daniel Alves - 41 trophies won

Alves won his 41st major honour as captain of Brazil

Daniel Alves currently finds himself as the most decorated player in European football history, with 41 trophies won in his professional career at club and international level.

The 37-year-old has represented some of the biggest clubs in the world, putting in impressive stints with clubs like PSG, Barcelona, Sevilla and Juventus, with his first foray into European football at Sevilla helping him to five major trophies.

The best spell of his career came at Barcelona when he became the first signing of Pep Guardiola’s era, and the Brazilian went on to cement his reputation as arguably the best right-back to represent the club, making 391 appearances in all competitions and winning 23 trophies.

Further success was also enjoyed at Juventus, PSG, while he has also won four trophies on the international scene, captaining Brazil to their latest Copa America triumph.

The 17-year European sojourn ended at the end of last season as he returned to his native Brazil, joining traditional heavyweights Sao Paolo, signing a three-year contract with his boyhood club and scored the winner on his debut.

There is every chance that Dani Alves could add to his impressive trophy cabinet at the end of this season, as Sao Paolo currently sit fourth on the Brazilian league table, just two points behind first placed Santos.
