The Most Successful Players In History Who Won The Most FIFA World Cups

A World Cup trophy is the ultimate prize for any professional footballer. People all agree that Messi is a legendary player, but it remained controversial when comparing him to Maradona, due to the World Cup trophy. His career will be perfect when he manages to win the final match in Lusail Stadium, Qatar. Still, it has never been easy because he was so close to the trophy in 2014.
Even the best player can be taken down by something called fate. When we talk about football, there’s nothing certain until the match finishes. So, winning a FIFA World Cup is simply the prize for the strongest but the toughest and luckiest. Among 445 players who have been on a winning team, only 21 players have won two or more World Cups, and one player stands above the rest.
