The Spain star joined this elite club after guiding his national team to victory at the 2026 World Cup. This triumph adds the ultimate football trophy to an extraordinary record, which already features a UEFA Champions League title with Manchester City, the prestigious Ballon d’Or award, and a UEFA European Championship (Euros) title with Spain.

-
Franz Beckenbauer (Germany)
-
Gerd Müller (Germany)

Rivaldo (Brazil)
-
Ronaldinho (Brazil)
-
Zinedine Zidane (France)

This remarkable accomplishment highlights the exceptional legacy of the Spanish midfielder. Having achieved both individual brilliance and collective glory at the absolute highest level for club and country, Rodri secures his place as one of the most decorated and complete players in football history.
