Dani Carvajal, Luka Modric and Nacho Fernandez won all the Champions League titles with Real Madrid. This series of achievements began in 2014 after Los Blancos defeated Atletico Madrid in Lisbon, Portugal, before winning 5 more titles in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2024.

Except for Kroos – who will retire after the 2023/24 season, Nacho, Modric and Carvajal still have the opportunity to increase their achievements in the Champions League if they choose to stay at the Bernabeu, or choose another big team. in Europe as a new destination in the near future.
