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.

In addition to these, Messi’s accolades with the “Albiceleste” include an Olympic gold medal (2008), a FIFA World Youth Championship title (2005), and the “Finalissima” trophy (2022), where Argentina defeated Italy in a match between the champions of South America and Europe.

  • At the club level, Messi’s achievements with Barcelona are:
  • La Liga titles: 10
  • Champions League trophies: 4
  • Copa del Rey titles: 7
  • Spanish Super Cups: 8
  • UEFA Super Cups: 3
  • FIFA Club World Cups: 3

Messi continued his success after leaving Barcelona, winning additional trophies with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami:

  • Ligue 1 titles with PSG: 2
  • French Super Cup with PSG: 1
  • US Open Cup with Inter Miami: 1
