Do you think any club can overtake Real Madrid's overhaul of record Champions League titles in our lifetimes or will they retain that record? (50-60 years) (alien.top)

Real Madrid currently have won 14 CL titles, do you think in the next 50-60 years, any club could have overtaken them in the record or they'd continue to reign?

Their team is currently in transition, but with assembly of young stars like Vini, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Endrick, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Valverde, Militao, Guler and potentially Davies + Mbappe in 2024 may get them more CL wins in this decade alone!

Do you think any team can overtake them in most CLs won by our lifetime or is the gap too big to overcome?

Nothing is impossible in football but in all likelihood, this will never happen. If Madrid was just sitting on 14 titles for a while, it would be a different story, but they keep extending that record periodically.

They won 6 of them in the 50s-60s, then went 30 years without winning another. In the late 90s/early 00s, they won 3 more, then took 12 more years to win another (when they went on to win 5 more).

Could easily see another period where they go a long time without winning any, and a team like Bayern, Liverpool or Barcelona go on to win a few over the course of a decade or two.

And in that 30 years period no one equalized them on european cups

Yes but that’s mainly because of they had a massive head start by winning the first 5 tournaments before other teams started treating it like a real competition.

This comment should be higher.

Even if Madrid don't win another one I'd say it's quite difficult for any team to surpass them in the next 50 years. Possible, but not granted.

Theres a meme floating around in spanish instagram. About how Barcelona was 8 cups behind Real Madrid, but then Pep, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, and all the legends came and played the greatest football known to man, and now they are 10 cups behind Real Madrid

Tbf at least they had the best team in footballs history during that time

Haha, that's pretty funny. You just can't beat the biggest club in the world I guess.
