If you want to win a league title, call Domagoj Vida. The central defender has become the first Croatian football player to win the championship title in four different European football leagues on Sunday.
The Croatian international from Donji Miholjac won the league title in Greece with AEK over the weekend, which is his fourth title in a different country.
After Croatia, where he was a champion with Dinamo Zagreb, Ukraine, where he did it with Dynamo Kyiv, and Turkey, where he won the title with Besiktas, Vida now adds Greece to list.
With titles now in four different countries, he has surpassed some Croatian football players, among whom Stjepan Tomas stands out the most (champion of Croatia, Turkey, and Russia), Dejan Lovren (champion of Croatia, England, and Russia), Ivica Olić (champion of Croatia, Germany, and Russia), and Mario Mandžukić (champion of Croatia, Germany, and Italy), who, in addition to being a champion in three European countries, also won the championship title in Qatar, Gol.hr writes.
This season, Vida played 32 matches for AEK in all competitions, and on May 25th, he has the opportunity to further improve his record. He can become the holder of the double crown in the fourth country as he awaits the final of the Greek Cup against PAOK.
