How Many Trophies Does Lionel Messi Have? A Complete Breakdown of His Career Titles
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 47 trophies in his career, combining his achievements between club and country. Most recently, he guided Inter Miami to the MLS Cup in 2025, assisting two goals as the Herons beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3–1 to claim the trophy for the first-ever time.
Although most of his trophies came with Barcelona, none shine brighter than the title he secured on 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 three with Miami. Internationally, he has one World Cup title and five other trophies with La Albiceleste.
Messi’s Trophies With FC Barcelona
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 Trophies With PSG
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 began with a bang. Thrown straight into Leagues Cup action upon signing, he immediately transformed the club, guiding the Herons to the first trophy in their history.
From there, the success kept coming. Messi helped Inter Miami secure the 2024 Supporters’ Shield as regular-season champions and then the 2025 MLS Cup—while shattering numerous league records along the way. His astonishing 66 goal contributions in 2025 obliterated the previous mark set by Carlos Vela.
Beyond the silverware, Messi elevated the entire league. His presence boosted MLS’s global profile, drew sellout crowds across North America and the Caribbean, and showcased his enduring brilliance to a whole new audience through the Leagues Cup, MLS and the Concacaf Champions Cup.

Messi’s International Trophies With Argentina
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 Américas and the World Cup to solidify him as the best-ever.
