Has Lionel Messi won every trophy he has ever competed for?

After helping Argentina win the FIFA World Cup, supporters may believe that Lionel Messi has achieved all of his goals and cemented his place as one of the all-time greats, but there is one trophy he has yet to take home.

Lionel Messi has won practically most of the competitions he has played in and 42 trophies during his career.

Lionel Messi boasts a massive trophy collection

Lionel Messi of Argentina eventually won the World Cup as a result of his stupendous performance in Qatar. Messi, currently 35 years old, provided seven goals to contribute as a whole and scored in each round of the tournament's final rounds. Despite a close race with Kylian Mbappé for the Golden Ball as the contest's top player, Lionel Messi prevailed.

Messi eventually achieved success with the Argentina National Team after years of dominance with FC Barcelona, leading them to several renowned titles including Copa America, the Finalissima, and the World Cup in less than two years. As a result of his sustained trophy-laden streak, Messi has now won 42 championships in his professional football career. His admirers think he has defeated every opponent.

Messi was able to win every competition he entered during his time with Barcelona, among them the Super Copa de Espana, LaLiga, Copa Del Rey, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He proceeded to win more awards after joining PSG, including the French Super Cup and Ligue 1. But Messi is yet to win one competition, and that is the Coupe de France. PSG are already out of the competition this season and with the Argentine expected to leave the French club at the end of the season, the Coupe de France looks like the only trophy that will elude Messi.

Messi is the clear favourite to win his 8th Ballon d'Or after sweeping the FIFA World Cup, and with PSG still in the running for the Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League titles, it seems certain that he will end the year without a shadow of a doubt the finest player.
