[WEGO Sports News] The winning legend of 'Manchester United Legend' that even the GOAT of football couldn't catch up with

Ryan Giggs has been found to have experienced the most league titles in Europe's top 5 leagues. Soccer statistics media 'Transfermarkt' revealed the rankings of players with the most league titles in Europe's top 5 leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) through their official SNS on the 28th of last month (GMT+9).

At the top of the list was Ryan Giggs with 13 championship titles. Following him, Lionel Messi, David Alaba, Thomas Müller, and Francisco Gento tied for second place with 12 titles each, while Kingsley Coman, Manuel Neuer, Robert Lewandowski, Thiago Alcantara, Arjen Robben, Paul Scholes, and Gianluigi Buffon followed with 11 titles each.

Lionel Messi is considered one of the greatest players in football history, having set the record of winning the Ballon d'Or eight times. Since his debut at Barcelona, he has led the team with outstanding skills, and received the praise of being the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) after leading Argentina to victory in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. However, in terms of league championship records, Giggs is ahead of Messi.

Ryan Giggs is a legendary player for Manchester United and holds the record for most assists (162) in Premier League history. He also ranks third in all-time Premier League appearances with 632 games, behind Gareth Barry and James Milner. Giggs holds the record for most league titles, having won 13 Premier League trophies with Manchester United alone.

Giggs made his professional debut at the age of 17 in the 1990-91 season after coming through Manchester United's youth system. From the 1992-93 season, he established himself as a regular starter and led United's golden era. In his early career, he dominated wing attacks with his rapid speed and powerful left-foot shooting, and as he aged, he continued to contribute to the team with accurate passes and creative play. At Manchester United, he lifted numerous trophies including 13 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, and 2 UEFA Champions League (UCL) titles. Notably, in the 1998-99 season, he achieved the treble (winning the league, FA Cup, and UCL simultaneously).

Meanwhile, if Thomas Müller adds another league title with Bayern Munich and David Alaba with Real Madrid this season, both players will tie with Giggs. Currently, Bayern Munich leads the league with 58 points, maintaining an 8-point gap with second-place Bayer Leverkusen. Real Madrid is in second place with 54 points, tied with first-place Barcelona in points but behind in goal difference.
