Any football fan will tell you that their club is the best, but only a few have proof of that.
As proof, talkSPORT represents the holy grail of club football: cutlery. But who in the world has the busiest trophy cases?
There are a handful of clubs that are winning everything in their respective competitions of late, including reigning Premier League champions Manchester City and Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
But despite their recent dominance, this does not secure them a position among the 20 most successful clubs of all time.
talkSPORT. com took an in-depth look at who those 20 groups are, using the number of trophies and honors the clubs have won throughout their history in the rankings below.
The list will possibly be replaced depending on its own definition of a trophy. Elite league titles are not included here, unlike the Super Cup-flavored competitions. Without further ado, here is the list of teams listed among the top 20 most successful clubs around the world.
Grasshopper Club Zurich holds the record for most Swiss Super League titles (27) and Swiss Cups (19).
Although they haven’t won any trophies since winning the Swiss Cup in 2013 and rivals FC Zurich won the championship much more recently in 2022, the Hoppers remain the most successful club in Switzerland.
Egyptian side Zamalek won the most titles in African tournaments in 20th century. That success has carried on, with them winning the Egyptian Premier League in 2022.

Six years without winning a trophy has prevented Man United from being the most successful club in England.
With a record breaking 20 Premier League titles to their name, Man United’s Carabao Cup win last season marked their first bit of silverware since the Europa League in 2017. However, with reports of Erik ten Hag having a deadline to turn his club’s form around, it’s unlikely they’ll add to that trophy cabinet anytime soon.
