LIONEL MESSI

Unmissable, of course, is Leo Messi: the Argentine record holder of Ballon d'Or wins and multiple Champions League winner entered this ranking in 2022 thanks to the World Cup success with his Argentina.

RICARDO KAKA'

The last Ballon d'Or winner before Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi is part of the 10 belonging to this category. Ricardo Kakà won the Ballon d'Or in 2007, the Champions League with Milan in the same year, and the World Cup with Brazil in 2002.

RONALDINHO

A string of Brazilians belonging to the same generation: Ronaldinho in 2006, winning the Champions League with Barcelona, completed the trio started in 2002 with the World Cup and continued in 2005 with the Ballon d'Or.

RIVALDO

In 2003 it was Rivaldo's turn: the Brazilian ace won the Champions League with Milan in the final against Juventus, adding to the Ballon d'Or of 1999 and the World Cup won in 2002.

ZINEDINE ZIDANE

Zizou has enclosed his collective and individual successes between 1998 (with the World Cup won with France and consequent Ballon d'Or) and 2002: when the joy in the Champions came with Real Madrid thanks to his iconic goal in the final with Bayer Leverkusen.

PAOLO ROSSI

Before Zidane, to enter this Olympus of legends was the late Paolo Rossi. Pablito, hero of the 1982 World Cup which also earned him the Ballon d'Or of that year, managed to win the Champions League, then Champions Cup, in 1985 with Juventus.

GERD MULLER

The German goal king completed his legendary trio in 1974 when both the Champions Cup and the World Cup arrived. All this was opened by the Ballon d'Or of 1970.

FRANZ BECKENBAUER

Similar trajectory to colleague Muller for Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer: Champions Cup and World Cup in 1974 and Ballon d'Or in 1972.

BOBBY CHARLTON

The first footballer to achieve the feat of winning the World Cup, Champions League and Ballon d'Or was Bobby Charlton. The English legend won the World Cup and Ballon d'Or in 1966, closing everything in 1968 with the Champions Cup won by Manchester United.
