• Portugal defender Joao Cancelo has won two league titles this season with different teams
• The Portuguese full-back joined Bayern Munich on loan from Manchester City in January

Joao Cancelo is arguably the luckiest defender in football at the moment after ending the 2022/23 season, winning two domestic titles.

The Portugal defender started the season with Manchester City, where he made 17 appearances for the Citizens before switching clubs in January when he joined Bayern Munich on loan after a fallout with Pep Guardiola.

With Bayern and Manchester City emerging league champions in England and Germany, Cancelo, who also made 15 appearances for the Bavarians, has ended the 2022/23 campaign with a Bundesliga and English Premier League winners medal.

Despite being second going into matchday 34, Bayern Munich won 2-1 at FC Koln to win an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title thanks to Borussia Dortmund’s 2-2 draw at FSV Mainz.
