PSG and Inter among leading trophy winners in top-five leagues this century

Transfermarkt ranks clubs from Europe's big five leagues by trophies won this century, with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan climbing the list as the season concludes.

What Transfermarkt found about century-era trophies

Transfermarkt has published a ranking of clubs from Europe’s top five leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1) by the number of trophies won since the year 2000. The piece, published as the season reaches its climax, highlights Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan climbing through the standings as recent results have delivered more silverware.

Why it matters

Trophy counts across the 21st century provide context for clubs’ modern dominance, the appetite of owners and investment models, and how success is concentrated across Europe’s elite leagues. As domestic seasons and cup competitions conclude, updated rankings help frame which clubs have converted investment into honours and which remain historically underachieving in recent decades.

Key takeaways from the Transfermarkt report

  • Transfermarkt produced a list ranking clubs in the big five European leagues by trophies won this century.
  • Paris Saint-Germain are reported to have clinched a fifth trophy recently, a result noted as the season reaches its business end.
  • Inter Milan have moved up the list according to Transfermarkt’s updated tally.
  • The piece was published on 14 May 2026 as top-five leagues were deciding their remaining competitions.

Context and limitations

The Transfermarkt article is a single source for this summary. The supplied metadata does not include the full ranking, precise trophy totals for each club, or which competitions were counted (for example, whether minor domestic cups, super cups or youth competitions were included). It also does not list the other clubs appearing near PSG and Inter in the table. Those details are required to report the full standings and analyse trends reliably.

Because the current information is drawn from the Transfermarkt item only, this draft flags where further verification is needed and recommends consulting the full Transfermarkt list or additional sources before publication.

What happens next

To finalise this story, confirm the complete Transfermarkt ranking, exact trophy counts for PSG, Inter and other leading clubs in the big-five leagues since 2000, and the methodology used (which competitions were counted). Once verified, the article can be expanded to include the full table, historic comparisons, and implications for clubs’ modern strategies.
