Left-back is the most titled player of all time at 23 years old, while the midfielder reached the numbers of two of the greatest legends in the history of football and promises not to stop there
After winning six of the seven possible titles in 2025, missing only the Club World Cup, PSG entered 2026 with yet another title, the French Super Cup, by defeating Marseille on penalties. Vitinha and Gonçalo Ramos were decisive for this outcome, but the other two compatriots were also important (and starters).
In fact, Nuno Mendes, who converted one of the penalties, increased his status as the most titled player of all time at the age of 23. The Portuguese international won the 17th title of his career and now has four more than the second placed on this list, Kingsley Coman (13), and five than the third, Kylian Mbappé (12).
In Paris, the player trained at Sporting won four Ligue 1 titles, four Super Cups, two French Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one European Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. In Alvalade, he was national champion in 2020/21, he also won the League Cup that season and the Portuguese Super Cup the next. As part of the National Team, he won the Nations League last year.
Nuno Mendes celebrates his 24th birthday on June 19th, so he still has the chance to increase this world record, with the championship, French Cup and UEFA Champions League at stake. The 2026 World Cup will end after its birthday, so the maximum it will be able to reach is 20 trophies.
On the other hand, João Neves, still 21 years old, has already reached the top 4 on this list of great players. In fifth place, with 10 trophies until the age of 23, is his compatriot and captain Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he was tied before the French Super Cup. Now, the former Benfica man equals the numbers of Lionel Messi and Pelé, both with 11 titles, and could easily surpass the French Mbappé and Coman, and who knows if Nuno Mendes himself will have two more seasons to do so (although they are in the same teams).

A curious fact about João Neves’ career is that, until this Thursday, the young player had never won the same title in his career, but he now has two French Super Cups. In addition to that trophy, in his debut season with PSG, he won the championship, the French Cup, the UEFA Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. At Luz, he was national champion in 2022/23, won the Portuguese Super Cup the following year and, at youth level, he also won the Youth League and the U20 Intercontinental Cup. With the National Team, he also won the Nations League in 2025. So far, there have been two brilliant careers.
