master / champion
'der Meister' and 'der Rekordmeister' both have to do with championships won in sports. 'Meister' is the team or person that has won a specific championship, for example in one season. 'Rekordmeister', on the other hand, is the club or team that has become champion more often overall than all the others. Learners may confuse the words because both sound like a title. Remember: a 'Meister' wins a championship; the 'Rekordmeister' has the most championship titles.
