A six-time champion of Ukraine at Shakhtar Donetsk, Fernandinho joined Manchester City in the summer of 2013 – and went on to win five Premier League titles.
That made the elite Brazilian defensive midfielder – who captained City to the last two of those crowns – one of the most decorated foreign players in the history of the English top flight.
Gerard Pique claimed just the nine titles with Barcelona – the first three during the dominant reign of Pep Guardiola – but LaLiga wasn’t the only league the towering centre-back won.
Nope, Pique – a World Cup and Euros winner with Spain – also made nine appearances as Manchester United were crowned 2007/08 Premier League champions.
Gerard Pique’s long-serving partner at the heart of Spain’s defence, Sergio Ramos claimed five LaLiga crowns on the other side of the El Clasico divide, serving as Real Madrid skipper for the last two of them.
After 16 glorious years at the Bernabeu, Ramos left Real in 2021 – and added to his trophy haul by winning back-to-back Ligue 1 titles with PSG.

Given how long his career lasted – an incredible 28 years – it’s little surprise that Gianluigi Buffon was a league champion in more than one country.
A ten-time Serie A winner with Juventus – where he wore the captain’s armband and cemented his status as one of the best goalkeepers of all time – Italy’s 2006 World Cup-winning custodian also helped PSG to Ligue 1 glory in 2018/19.

Messi made an emotional exit from Barca in 2021, spending the next two campaigns with PSG – and being crowned a Ligue 1 champion in both (either side of the small matter of captaining Argentina to World Cup glory).
Born in Brazil, Thiago Motta was even capped once by the five-time world champions – but the midfielder of Italian descent ultimately represented the Azzurri at international level, as well as winning the Scudetto with Inter Milan.
