Messi: a goal every 52 minutes to get close to breaking Dani Alves’ record and reaffirm that he is the best of all time

Leo could have a huge museum, perhaps the size of a stadium, with all his titles, individual and collective. And of the latter he has come to win 43, counting the last two (the World Cup with Argentina and Ligue 1 with PSG). That is to say,

Leo scored a great goal from about 32.1 meters (the furthest in his entire career, according to statistician Mr. Chip) to help Inter Miami (4-1) beat Philadelphia and thus be within a shot of winning a new trophy , the first in his new stage at Inter Miami: the Leagues Cup. He will face the winner of the other key between Monterrey de México and Nashville this Saturday with an incredible mark on his shoulders: With his nine annotations in his first six games, the ’10’ has a goal every 52 minutes.

The life of the pink team led by President David Beckham changed with the advent of Messi (they will play their first final since its creation in 2018, and they are also in the semifinals of the US Open); but Lionel’s life continues on the same path, that of success.

“One of my goals is to win more titles again. Finish my career with as many titles as possible and, if possible, try to grab Dani (Alves) who is a winner. I had him as a partner. Where he goes, he wins. And well, I’m going to try to get closer at least “, he said at the press conference in which he said goodbye to Barça before going to PSG, in August 2021. At that time he had 38 trophies. He achieved his goal: grab it. Now you have to leave it behind. And stretch his advantage over the rest. Only Andrés Iniesta (39 years old, plays for the Emirates Club of the UAE Pro League in the United Arab Emirates) is close with 39 titles; and further back is Cristiano Ronaldo, who earned his 35th star last weekend with Al Nassr against Al Hilal.

Undoubtedly, the fact that Messi becomes the most winning footballer in history places him on the Olympus of football, well above the rest. And he does not have collective trophies, he also accumulates individual ones. He is, for example, the one who has won the most Ballon d’Ors with seven (and is going for the eighth after winning the World Cup in Qatar) and the most Golden Boots (6). He in total he has 53 distinctions.

Messi, his trophies and which one is under debate

messi has achieved 35 titles with Barcelonabeing ten from LaLiga, seven Copa del Rey, eight Spanish Super Cup, four Champions League, three European Super Cup and three Club World Cup.

With the Argentina team he managed to remove a large pending thorn. He won the World Cup, in addition to the Copa América and adds to a U20 World Cup and a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games. In addition, he put the finishing touch with the victory against Italy in the UEFA Finalissima and Conmebol .

With PSG, in his two years in France, he obtained two Ligue 1 and a French Super Cup. He could never raise the ‘Orejona’. And at Inter Miami he goes for his first cup.

However, there is a title that for some journalists is under debate. This is the 2005 Spanish Super Cup in which Messi was part of the Barça squad, but he was not called up for either of the two matches, one due to being ill and the other by coach Frank Rijkaard’s own decision.

Although the footballer himself, through his official websitesaid trophy is awarded, so it is also counted.
