• The correct answer is ‘Bayern Munich.’ From the 1982 Spanish tournament, when Italy defeated West Germany 3-1, to the 2022 Qatar tournament, there has always been at least one player from this German team in the World Cup finalists. Even in the 2026 North and Central American tournament, three Bayern Munich players, including Upamecano (28), Michael Olise (25, France), and Harry Kane (33, England), made it all the way to the semifinals. However, as both France and England were eliminated, the World Cup final was held without a Bayern Munich player for the first time in 44 years. • Inter Milan (Italy) also produced a World Cup finalist every time during the same period. And in this tournament, Lautaro Martinez (29, Argentina) was also named to the finalist team. Bayern Munich and Inter Milan were tied for first place in this category for the 10th consecutive time. The result of the semifinals determines whether the record will be extended or not. Paris Saint-Germain has been maintaining the record since the 1994 US tournament.
