Iniesta scored the decisive goal in Spain's only World Cup triumph and also won the European Championships in 2008 and 2012 with the national team. Those two achievements themselves are enough to hand him legendary status.

But the Barcelona legend won four Champions Leagues and nine La Liga titles at Camp Nou which ensured he remains in the top half of this incredible list.

It would be fitting that the player who is widely regarded to be the most talented individual of all time also ends up becoming the most decorated in terms of trophies. ​

Lionel Messi is tantalizingly close to Alves record and it seems like a matter of when and not if he can catch up to Alves. Messi may be able to break Alves' record even sooner if he moves to Manchester City or any other club.

5. Ryan Giggs- 36 Trophies

Giggs spent 24 years at Manchester United and won a record 13 Premier League titles along with multiple cups and two UEFA Champions League titles. A grand total of 36 trophies deserves to make this list!

An ever-present at the back for Barcelona, ​Gerard Pique has been in resurgent form in the last couple of years, demonstrating the fact that he still remains irreplaceable, even with World Cup winner Samuel Umtiti waiting in the wings.

Pique's trophy haul actually began with Manchester United, where he won four pieces of silverware before he made the incredibly successful switch to Barcelona. Eight more trophies and he will catch Alves, which is certainly feasible given the fact that he is still 33.

8. Vitor Baia- 34 Trophies
