What hasn’t Messi won?
The World Cup was long seen as the missing piece in Messi’s title collection.
Argentina’s 2022 triumph over France means he has won the two key pieces of international silverware available to a South American player – a World Cup and Copa America.
At club level, he has won the league with his two sides to date and picked up four UEFA Champions League titles.
With Barcelona, Messi won all possible team trophies available in Spain. He is yet to match this feat in France with PSG, however, with a Coupe de France title still required after they fell short in 2021/22.
