11 players who have won more trophies than Cristiano Ronaldo

#3 Andres Iniesta- 35 trophies won; Barcelona(32), Spain(3)

Iniesta achieved multiple success with Spain and Barcelona

One of the most talented midfielders of all time, Andres Iniesta was a mainstay in the golden period of Barcelona and the Spain national team, contributing immensely with his innate ability to dictate the tempo of a game from midfield.

His midfield combination with Xavi at the height of their powers for both Spain and Barcelona is considered one of the greatest of all time and was a crucial factor in the success enjoyed by both sides.

He spent 16 years in the Barcelona first team setup and won 33 titles, including nine La Liga crowns and four Champions League titles. He was also instrumental in ending Spain's 'perennial underachievers' tag and the 44-year wait for an international trophy with their EURO 2008 triumph.

The 2010 World Cup winning goal was also scored off the boot of Iniesta while he put in a man-of-the-match performance in Spain's 4-0 victory over Italy in the Euro 2012 final.

He ended his spell at Barcelona with a transfer to Vissel Kobe in Japan at the end of the just concluded season, and even though his personal accolades are not as much as his immense talents deserve due to the presence of Ronaldo and Messi, there is no denying that Iniesta is one of the greatest players of all time.

#2 Maxwell 36 trophies won; Cruzeiro(1), Ajax(5), Inter Milan(5), Barcelona(10), PSG(15)

Maxwell is the second most decorated player in European history

A surprising inclusion given that he is not one of the most popular players, Maxwell was the most decorated player in European footballing history for a long time before being surpassed by compatriot Dani Alves at the end of last season.

Maxwell wasn't the most gifted of players but was an extremely dependable footballer who discharged his duties without any fuss.

He played for some of the biggest clubs in Europe, and his spells there usually coincided with the golden periods of those clubs, including Inter Milan in the mid-noughties, Barcelona towards the end of the last decade and PSG at the beginning of this one under their new ownership.

He went on an incredible run of winning the league title, doing so in nine out of 10 seasons (bar 2012) in 3 different countries for three different clubs from 2007 until his retirement in 2016; Inter Milan (2007-2009), Barcelona (2009-2011) and PSG(2012-2016).

He also tasted league success in the Netherlands with Ajax and was a Champions League winner with Barcelona in 2011.
