Messi becomes the player with most trophies in football history

Lionel Messi has added yet another prestigious trophy to his career, securing the Copa America title with Argentina. This latest triumph brings Messi’s total career trophy count to 45, making him the most decorated footballer in history. He surpasses his former Barcelona teammate Dani Alves, who has 44 trophies.

Messi’s international achievements have significantly bolstered his legacy. For many years, he faced criticism for not winning major titles with the Argentine national team. However, he has now won two consecutive Copa America titles (2021, 2024) and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
