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?

To everyone saying they're so consistent and win one so often. They went 10 years without winning one between 02/03-12/13. They're will be more droughts most likely where other's with catch up.

The droughts are "droughts" though. In 68 CLs, RM has won 14, or 20.6% of CLs. they have reached 17 finals, meaning 25%, and They have reached Semis and lost in 15. Out of 68 CLs, RM have been top 4 in 47% of them. that is insane

I didn’t realize that they were actually one of organizers of the original tournament and that it was invite only. Apparently the better European teams often declined the invite because it was akin to a preseason tourney with little to no prestige. Certainly puts their first 5 trophies in a different light…
