15 Best Football Clubs of All Time – Part 1
It is an intricate task to put together a list of the best fifteen football clubs in the world.
All the clubs in this list have earned the right to be called ‘Giants’ of modern day football, and they have fully acquired this right by winning many titles in their own countries and in Europe.
So the list goes in the order:
Real Madrid C.F.
This club without a doubt earns a spot in the top fifteen clubs in the world list as it is one of the finest clubs in the world.
The famous club legends are Raul, Ferenc Puskas, and Alfredo Di Stefano just to name a few.
The club has won thirty one La Liga titles, seventeen Copa del Rey titles, eight Supercopa de Espana, nine UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Europa Leagues, one UEFA Super Cup and three FIFA Club World Cups.
The current club stars are Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and Kaka.
The future for this club seems bright as to add to all this raw talent, they also have one of the best football coaches in the world.
Jose Mourinho is in full throttle to bring the La Liga trophy to Real Madrid again but they face a very huge challenge from their other Spanish competitor and that is Barcelona who are adamant on defending their last year’s title.
AC Milan
AC Milan is again a very famous club and is considered to be an Italian giant, and one of the best in the world.
The club legends that are well known are Franco Baresi, Gunnar Nordahl and Paolo Maldini.
The club has won numerous titles and the list goes as follows, seventeen Serie A titles, five Coppa Italias, five Supercoppa Italianas, seven UEFA Champions League, two UEFA Cups, five UEFA Super Cups and four FIFA Club World Cups.
The club’s current shining stars include the likes of Alexandre Pato, Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro Nesta.
AC Milan seems to be in a financial crisis and it was partly due to this reason that they were not able to win any trophies in 2007 though they did win the FIFA Club World Cup. Also one thing that makes AC Milan stand out is that
they always give their young talent a chance to play in the team.
Liverpool F.C.
Liverpool is one of the most flourishing clubs in all of England; In 2005 Liverpool achieved one of the most supreme victories in football history.
Liverpool fans have always had pride that most other club fans just can’t ever feel.
The notable football legends from this club are Alan Hansen, Ian Callaghan and Ian Rush.
Their titles go in the order: Eighteen Premier Leagues, seven FA Cups, fifteen FA Community Shields, five UEFA Champions Leagues, three UEFA Europa Leagues, and three UEFA Super cups.
The club’s current star players are Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina and Steven Gerrard.
Though the club has the same problems as AC Milan, the club is close to hitting financial crisis and these problems are taking their toll on the club.
The fact remains that most pundits believe that the club needs new owners if they want to rise above where they are right now.
FC Bayern Munich
Whenever German football comes up, there is one club that always stands out and is renowned worldwide; and that is Bayern Munich.
The fact is that the club is so talented and well established that they barely ever face any real competition in Germany and have the best German stars amongst their ranks. Though some teams have gone against the odds and surprised
even them from time to time.
The club’s notable football legends are Gerd Muller, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Franz Beckenbauer.
The title list for this club goes as follows: Twenty two Bundesliga titles, fifteen DFB-Pokal, four DFB Super Cups, four UEFA Champions League titles, one UEFA Europa League title, one European Cup winners title and two FIFA Club
World Cups.
