Top 10 footballers with most Bundesliga titles in history

These players have enjoyed rich success in the German top flight

Winning a title in any league or competition around the world is always a moment of pride in a player's career. Those are moments athletes cherish. It is quite the same story in football, where domestic leagues are contested throughout the year, with the best team of that particular season eventually winning the league title. The Bundesliga is the top-tier football league in Germany and is considered among the top five football leagues in Europe. Bayern Munich have been the most dominant team in the Bundesliga, with a record 33 titles to their name.

It is, therefore, no surprise that players who represented the Bavarians hold the record for most Bundesliga titles won by a player. Let's take a look at the top 10 players with the most Bundesliga titles.

10. Bastian Schweinsteiger - 8 titles
