So, we all know about our trinity and how all three of them won the Balon d'or. Are there any other teams who had 3 or more players winning the balon d'or when they were playing together at any point in their history?

Feels like this is a question you could have answered yourself by just going on wiki.

No, not a trinity unless you count the two different Milan trebles in '88 and '89 or Messi, Iniesta and Xavi getting 1st-3rd in 2010. A few doubles through the year: Di Stefano & Kopa, Müller & Beckenbauer, Rossi & Platini and Ronaldo & Modric.

I’m confused. What exactly is the “Trinity”.

Edit: never mind, it’s Law, Best, Charlton

Gullit and van Basten at Milan. That's it really...I think.

The Brazil side of 2002 had 4 either previous or future Balon D'or winners. Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kleberson. Sorry, I mean Kaka.

I am surprised that some don't know about the trinity. I mean, I don't know many facts about the club, but we have a statue of them outside of OT though.

I was born after Beckham made his first team debut, so I don't know many facts/stories of the club even from the 90's. My knowledge of the club is mainly through wikipedia, redcafe and biographies. I actually envy those alive to see the club in the 90's. Probably the best period in the club's history.
