Courtois, Hazard, Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Modric, Benzema, Camavinga, Carvajal, Asensio and Valverde are the Real Madrid players who aspire to win the Champions League and the World Cup in the same season.

The World Cup teams are finalising their preparations for the World Cup with the aim of winning the biggest international title. At club level, the Champions League is the most prestigious competition and only five players have won both trophies in the same year.

Bayern Munich in 1974 were pioneers in having players that won the UCL and the WC double. Maier, Breitner, Schwarzenbeck, Beckenbauer, Muller, Hoeness and Kapellmann made history in world football.

In 1998, Christian Karembeu did the same with Real Madrid and France. In 2002, Roberto Carlos did the same with Real Madrid and Brazil. In 2014, Sami Khedira won the Champions League with Real Madrid and the World Cup with Germany. Raphael Varane won the 2018 World Cup with France.

Courtois, Hazard, Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Modric, Benzema, Camavinga, Carvajal, Asensio and Valverde can all join this double winners after winning the Champions League with Madrid in Paris. Similarly, Casemiro, who plays for Man Utd, is also in the running for the double victory.
