I tried to research the players who won the most domestic league titles. However, as this is an endless search anyway I restricted this to only players who have won their last league title within the last 15 years and I focussed on the Leagues in Europe, North and South America ignoring leagues outside of the ~Top-15 in Europe and very small leagues in America. For the players which are included in the following table I counted all league titles no matter the league, but there are other players who have won all (or the majority) of their league titles in smaller leagues which I didn’t consider for the statistic.

I counted Apertura and Clausura league titles as 0.5 titles and also winning the MLS Supporter Shield without winning the subsequent MLS Cup as 0.5 titles. To win the MLS Cup I counted as “one full” title, no matter whether they have won the Supporters’ Shield beforehand or not. I used transfermarkt’s “Achievements” site which they have for each player to determine which titles they won. A player can have won 2 titles in one season when he played for both clubs.

Rebrov, Lewandowski, Coman, Fejsa, Safari, Douglas Costa, Rafinha, Juninho won them in 3 different countries and Ibrahimovic & Maxwell, Robben, Farfán, Mandzukic, Beckham, Tevez, Vidal even in 4. Ibra, Tevez and Vidal even for 5 different clubs. He is not on the list but if Esteben Cambiasso somehow left Leicester for Olympiacos 6 or 12 months later he could have won league titles in 5 different countries.

Is there a player who I have missed? Let me know if you think so.
