Which player has won the UEFA Champions League with three different clubs?

The story behind the answer

Clarence Seedorf is the only player to win the UEFA Champions League with three different clubs. He lifted the trophy with Ajax in 1995, Real Madrid in 1998, and AC Milan in 2003 and 2007.

Seedorf’s first triumph came with Ajax’s talented young side, which defeated AC Milan in the 1995 final. After moving to Real Madrid, he won again in 1998, when Madrid beat Juventus 1–0 in Amsterdam. His later success with Milan made him the first player to collect European Cup or Champions League winners’ medals for three clubs.

A common mix-up is to confuse winning the competition multiple times with winning it for multiple teams. Players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Paolo Maldini have won several titles, but all of their victories came with one club. Seedorf’s four titles are also notable because they span two competition eras and three major European powers.
