After Messi’s newest title: Top five most decorated players ever — one of them Egyptian

Lionel Messi has once again rewritten football history guiding Inter Miami to the 2025 MLS Cup and extending his status as the most decorated footballer of all time.

The 38 year old produced two assist in 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday securing Inter Miami’s first league title since their formation.

The triumph continues Messi’s extraordinary run in the United States and represents his third major trophy with the club after conquering the Leagues Cup (2023) and the Supporters Shield (2024).

This latest success raises Messi’s career tally to 48 trophy, a number unmatched in world football.

Messi’s lead over his closest challenger, Dani Alves, now stretches to five trophies with the Brazilian on 43 career title. Former Al Ahly captain Hossam Ashour holds third place globally with 39 title followed by Marquinhos & Sergio Busquets both tied with 38 after their respective successes with club & country.
