For footballers, winning the Champions League title, Ballon d'Or trophy and World Cup could be the highest achievement. The majority of players want these titles.
As is known, the Champions League is the top and most elite caste club tournament, not only in Europe but also in other confederations under FIFA, such as AFC.
Then, the Ballon d'Or is an annual award given to the best players in a season that France Football has offered since 1956.
Meanwhile, the achievement of the World Cup trophy became the highest peak of a player with the country he bought. Maybe there is no more football tournament on the face of the earth that matches the enjoyment of a player who has won the World Cup title.
