#4 AFC Ajax – 56 major trophies

The famous 1995 UEFA Champions League winning side of AFC Ajax

The only Dutch club on this list is none other than the incredibly historic AFC Ajax at the heart of the Netherlands’ Amsterdam. Ajax are known to be the side that continuously relies on producing local youth talent rather than spending exorbitant amounts on signing tailor-made foreigners.

Ajax are the club with the second highest number of domestic league titles on this list having won the Eredivisie 33 times. Add that to 18 Dutch Cups, 4 UEFA Champions Leagues and 1 UEFA Cup and you see just why they're revered in the world of football.

The Dutch giants won the domestic title four years in a row from 2011 to 2014 under manager Frank de Boer. The last time they won the UEFA Champions League title was in 1994/95.
