LIONEL MESSI'S NEW WORLD RECORD


Messi, the new world record holder for most trophies

Copa America 2024 was Lionel Messi's 42nd top-level trophy in his senior career. Thus, he set a new world record for the number of trophies.
The previous record belonged to Dani Alves: 41 trophies won from 2002 to 2021.
Messi has lifted 38 trophies at club level and 4 for Argentina (where he couldn't win anything for a very long time, but things have picked up since 2021).
Messi and Dani Alves played together for Barcelona for 8 years (from 2008 to 2016) and during this period they won 23 joint trophies (an average of almost 3 per year!)
Trophies won at the level of youth teams of different ages are not taken into account (they both have several more in this category, including one in the Olympics).
