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?

This is Zeno’s the Achilles paradox in real life.

By the time another team reaches 14 CL titles, Real Madrid will be at 20.

And by the time the team hits 20, Real Madrid will be at 23.

They will just continue to pull ahead.

I’m sure the Ajax 3-peat winners wouldn’t have expected Liverpool to overtake their tally of wins in just a span of 7 years either, in the same decade too!

Obviously Madrid have that healthy cushion but it only takes another drought from them, and suddenly Liverpool, Bayern, Barca and maybe Milan could be right on their tails again.
