Champions League: 6 Players Who Have Won the Most Titles

#1 Francisco 'Paco' Gento (Real Madrid): 6 Titles

No player has won more European Cups than former Real Madrid winger Paco Gento

Years won: 1955/56, 1956/57, 1957/58, 1958/59, 1959/60, 1965/66

The only man in the world who needs two hands to show the number of European Cups he has won is Paco Gento. Six titles is a record that has stood for 52 years now. And the only man who can equal him now is Cristiano Ronaldo.

A serial winner of trophies, he won 20 major titles which also included 12 LaLiga titles. Signed by Real Madrid in the same year as Alfredo Di Stefano, it was his signing that saw Real build a legendary forward line that later included Raymond Kopa, Hector Rial, and Ferenc Puskas.

Paco was so quick that he was nicknamed Galerna - which literally translates to 'Gale', the fierce winds that blew through his native Cantabria. He was so fast that he often ran into hoardings behind the goal while even Di Stefano had to instruct his teammates not to play the final ball too soon because they simply couldn't catch up with him.

Not only was Gento's speed so terrifying to opponents, his ability to decelerate and leave defenders running past him made for some comical moments.

He scored twice in European finals, including the extra-time winner against Milan in 1958. Although he wasn't exceptionally gifted at striking the ball at first (Real lost a lot of balls in training due to his erratic shooting), he worked at it and ended up scoring 178 goals for Los Blancos in 18 seasons at the club.
