who has won the community shield the most times
List of FA Community Shield matches Manchester United hold the record for the most victories, winning the competition 21 times since its inception.[B][15] They also hold the distinction of having the most appearances (30) and most losses (9). Although the Shield has had its share of historical moments – from Eric Cantona's first career hat-trick in 1992,[16] to Manchester United's first loss of 1999 ending a streak of 33 consecutive games without a defeat[17] – it has been dismissed as a ceremonial friendly that is not on par with other domestic honours in terms of prestige.[14][18][19] Winning the Shield has proven to be an unreliable indicator of success in the forthcoming season.[1][18] Since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992, only seven clubs that won the Shield proceeded to become League champions in the same season, the last being Manchester United in 2010–11.[18] Indeed, Gianluca Vialli was sacked only weeks after guiding Chelsea to the victory in the 2000 match, following a lacklustre start to the season.[20] The current holders are Arsenal, who defeated Chelsea in a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw in the 2017 edition.[21]
