INCREDIBLE: One of the most mocked players in Spain now has more La Liga medals than Ronaldo

Barcelona’s punchline defender Douglas has now won more La Liga titles than Cristiano Ronaldo… despite playing just 114 minutes of football for the Spanish champions.

If you don’t know much about the right-back, you’re not alone. He has been the butt of jokes since arriving at the Nou Camp from Sao Paulo in 2014 and has never shown anything to suggest he is good enough to play for a club of Barca’s stature.

The 25 year-old played just FOURTEEN minutes of La Liga football in 2015/16. That’s after being involved for just 100 minutes of Barca’s triumphant top- flight 2014/15 campaign.

Despite these puny numbers, Douglas Pereira (to give him his full name) now has two La Liga medals… which means he boasts the breathtaking average of one title for every 57 minutes played.

And while Cristiano Ronaldo may prove to be the single-greatest goalscorer that the Spanish league has ever seen, he has managed to win La Liga in just one of his six seasons in Madrid.

Yes, one of the greatest players of all time has ONE La Liga medal.
