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?

I can really imagine Benfica getting really big in the future.

Nothing is set in stone. Nottingham won a CL way back, look where they are now. Hamburg won too, look where they are now.

I think, in the long run, those with the best youth center and clever investments can potentially overtake Real Madrid.

But ofcourse Real Madrid will do anything necessary to hold the position.

I am just saying nothing is impossible, especially in football.

The 90s? Is that you?

If things remain as they are, it will be very hard for a team like that to win the UCL, because richer clubs will poach their best players. For a club like Benfica or Ajax to win the UCL, they will need several potentially world class players to have a breakthrough season simultaneously, and even then it's going to be very tough.
