How Many Trophies Does Lionel Messi Have? A Complete Breakdown of His Career Titles | OneFootball

Of all the soccer players in the world, nobody has won in the sport as much as Lionel Messi. Admired for his silky moves on the ball, detailed vision, and pinpoint passing, the Argentine’s game has been among the world’s best over the last two decades.

Since joining FC Barcelona in 2004, he has gone on to win everywhere he has played, whether that be in his club career at Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Inter Miami CF, or with Argentina’s national team; his dominance has been unparalleled.

In this article, Sports Illustrated takes a look at the world-record number of trophies he has won, and some of the countless records he has achieved through his historic career.

How Many Trophies Has Lionel Messi Won in His Career?

Lionel Messi has won 46 trophies in his career, combining his achievements between club and country. Most recently, he won the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield, given to the best team in the MLS regular season, after helping Inter Miami to an MLS regular-season record points mark of 74 over 34 games.

Although most of his trophies come with FC Barcelona, none shine brighter than the title he secured in penalty kicks at FIFA World Cup 2022, as Argentina beat France in one of the most memorable World Cup finals of all time.

At Barcelona, he won 35 trophies before winning three with PSG and two with Miami. Internationally, he has one World Cup title and five other trophies with La Albiceleste.

After graduating from the Newell’s Old Boys youth system, Messi came over to FC Barcelona in 2004 and made his first-team debut at just 17 years old, instantly providing jaw-dropping moments of creativity at the Camp Nou.

From 2004 to 2020, he helped lead Barcelona to 10 La Liga titles, capturing four UEFA Champions Leagues alongside three FIFA Club World Cups and several other trophies, while forming a dominant side alongside Neymar Jr., now Inter Miami teammates Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suárez.

Messi’s time with PSG may not have been as long as some of his other stops, but it still included a lot of winning, with two Ligue 1 titles in 2022 and 2023, as well as a Trophée des Champions win in 2022.

During his time at the Parc de Princes, he played alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, while also crossing paths with Angel Di Maria and several other stars. However, the club’s hopes of winning a UEFA Champions League title with Messi fell short, and they had to wait until 2025 to capture their first European crown.

The Inter Miami chapter of Messi’s career started off with a bang, as he was thrown right into Leagues Cup competition after signing, and went on to lead the Herons to their first title in club history.

Since then, he has helped them win the Supporters’ Shield as regular-season champions and has set numerous records, which have helped him reach 50 goals in 61 games, with his half-century marker coming with a direct free kick against FC Porto at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Throughout his tenure in MLS, he has also raised the profile of the league and soccer in America, showcasing his brilliance to a new audience and drawing sellout crowds across North America and the Caribbean through the Leagues Cup, MLS, and Concacaf Champions Cup.

While representing La Albiceleste, Messi has enjoyed incredible success, including the 2022 World Cup title, wins in the 2021 and 2024 Copa América, and a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the championship at the 2005 U20 FIFA World Cup.

Yet, he has also suffered his fair share of heartbreak. At the height of his powers in 2014, his Argentina side fell to Germany in extra time in the World Cup final in Rio de Janeiro, and in 2016, they lost the Copa América final to Chile.

That 2016 loss was almost the end as well, with Messi announcing his retirement from international football in the moments after the heartbreak, only to return later to capture two Copa Amérircas and the World Cup to solidify him as the best-ever.
