    Which club has the most World Cup winners on its roster as of today?

    I counted 5 for Bayern (Neuer, Muller, Coman, Pavard, Hernandes). Who has more?

    PSG would have six (Messi, Mbappé, Kimpembe, Ramos), if they hadn't loaned out two of them (Draxler and Paredes).

    I was going to say that Juve has 4, but then realized that Rabiot was not part of the 2018 squad.

    Just noticed that Coman wasn't part of the 2018 squad.

    So Bayern down to 4, tied with PSG.

    It's been all over the news these days, since after signing with Bournemouth Justin Kluivert
    is on track to become only the fourth player ever to take the field in all five of Premier League,
    La Liga, Serie A, Deutsche Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, but in case you want to guess instead of
    google, who are the other three?

    One of them has to be Marko Marin. I cant recall if Klinsmann played in Spain, but if he did he would be another.

    Marko never played for a French team, and strictly speaking he also never played in Serie A (all of his four
    matches for Fiorentina came in the Europa League).
    Klinsmann never played for a Spanish team.

    One of them is Raducioiu. I remembered it and I checked to be sure.

    This is correct. The other two can also be found in Răducioiu's Wikipedia article.

    Incidentally, this is not a record that's particularly enviable, and rather more like
    a journeyman badge. Like Mateja Kežman's championship titles in five different countries (which was the record we came up with when we last discussed this
    in rss back in 2013, and which might well still be unsurpassed).

    I could come up with several with four: Di Maria, Zlatan (no Germany), Cancelo and Rüdiger (no France), surely many more. Interestingly, three of the above four have also plied their trade in a 5th European League, just below the top 5 (Cancelo and Di
    Maria in Portugal, Zlatan in the Netherlands).

    Also, one of your guys - Danilo (Porto, Real, Man City, Juve)

    So four is easy, but five is really difficult?

    Wondering if being a prominent player's son doesn't sub-consciously overrate a young player for many. Justin Kluivert, Jordi Cruyff, Gio Reyna, Tom Ince. All 4 were highly rated as teenagers, only for them to be underwhelming at best, and major
    disappointments at worst. (Chiesa and Haaland being notable exceptions).

    If we are doing 3+1, then Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Another 4+1: Thiago Mendes

    Well, for a romanian player it's a badge of honor. Not to mention that while at Milan he was lucky enough to win the UCL, I think without playing any minute in it.

    Wait, are we talking titles, or just having played in different leagues?

    I think we've been mixing this up - Danilo, Ibra, Maxwell, Cancelo not only played in these
    different leagues but also won the title there.

    Yes, I was still on the "playing in all the top-5 leagues"

    Impressive. I'll see if I can think of more.
