The story of a champion

Fejsa was born in Vbras, in the province of Vojvodina, in northern Serbia. He began his career in the missing Hajduk Kula, the only club in which he won no title. However, it was observed by the powerful Partizan of the capital and from there it started its winning record.

In his native country he won 3 Super Leagues, which made Greece Olympiacos look at him and buy it for the 2011-2012 season. He reached 3 local leagues in the Greek club, the second when Leonardo Jardim headed the club of Piraeus, on the outskirts of Athens.

In Benfica he has rotated between the first team and his subsidiary B. However, he had always participated in the league titles of the "Eagles", becoming the only active player to win 9 consecutive leagues in Europe.

At the national level, Fejsa has played 24 matches, including the matches for the 2008 and 2012 EuroCup.

The successor of the throne

Now that Fejsa has lost his streak, there are several players with 7 consecutive titles: Gianluigi Buffon, Adrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini, and Arturo Vidal.

The first 3 have been consecutive champions since 2012 with Juventus, while the Chilean won from 2012 to 2015 the Serie A with the Turin team and then has won 3 BundesLiga in Germany with Bayern Munich.

Then there are 4 players who just got their sixth consecutive title. They are Kingsley Coman, Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer, and Thiago Alcántara. All these players are players from Bayern Munich.

Despite his scarce 21 years, the player Kingsley Coman has already been champion in France, Italy, and Germany. He debuted in the 2012-2013 season in France and from there won the leagues with PSG, Juventus, and Bayern Munich.

Thomas Müller and Manuel Neuer have been championing the Bavarian team for 6 consecutive years.

While Thiago Alcántara won the 2012-2013 title at Barcelona and then Pep Guardiola took him to the Bavarian giant, where he has not stopped leaving as the champion.
