Messi Makes History with 45th Trophy in Copa America 2024 Victory
Lionel Messi, the illustrious captain of Argentina, has solidified his legacy in football history by clinching a record-breaking 45th trophy.
His latest triumph came as Argentina secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final, a match in which Messi contributed for 60 minutes.
This milestone surpasses the previous record of 44 trophies held by his former Barcelona teammate Dani Alves.
Messi’s trophy haul is a testament to his unparalleled career spanning both club and international football.
During his tenure at Barcelona, he amassed 35 titles, underscoring his instrumental role in the club’s success over the years.
His journey with the Argentine national team has seen him lift prestigious trophies such as the Copa America in 2021 and now again in 2024, further cementing his status as a football icon on the global stage.
Beyond his contributions at Barcelona and Argentina, Messi continued to add to his trophy cabinet after joining Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021.
His time in France has seen him secure three additional trophies, including consecutive Ligue 1 titles and the Trophee des Champions.
Notably, Messi’s accolades extend beyond Europe, as he captured the Olympic gold medal at Beijing 2008 and more recently claimed the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina.
His accomplishments also include lifting the Leagues Cup 2023 trophy during his stint with Inter Miami.
With an unmatched collection of honors, including eight Ballon d’Or awards, Lionel Messi’s legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time continues to grow, marked by his extraordinary talent, determination, and unparalleled success on the pitch.

Romeo Beckham Retires from Football to Pursue Fashion Career
Romeo Beckham, son of Manchester United icon David Beckham, has made the surprising decision to retire from football at just 22 years old.
After a brief career on the pitch, the former Brentford winger has chosen to pursue a new path in the fashion industry, following in the footsteps of his mother, renowned designer Victoria Beckham.
Romeo’s football journey began in Arsenal’s youth academy in 2015, before he moved to the Inter Miami academy in 2021, where he spent two years playing with the reserve team.
In the summer of 2023, he joined Brentford’s B team, showing promise as a winger.
However, his passion for fashion has been a consistent theme throughout his life.
Even at the age of 10, Romeo was involved in a Burberry Kids campaign, and by 2011, he had already gained recognition as one of Britain’s best-dressed men, ranking 26th on a prestigious list.
In 2021, Romeo signed a significant £1.2 million endorsement deal with Puma, becoming one of the brand’s ambassadors.
That same year, he graced the cover of L’Uomo Vogue and added modelling work with Yves Saint Laurent to his portfolio.
His flair for fashion continued to grow, and recently, Romeo signed a lucrative contract with a top Parisian fashion agent, Safe Management.
Despite enjoying his time at Brentford, Romeo has decided to fully immerse himself in the fashion world, a career that has long been a passion of his.
While stepping away from professional football, Romeo remains committed to Brentford Penguins, a team that provides opportunities for players with Down Syndrome.
His transition marks a new chapter in his life, where he will continue to build on his growing influence in the fashion industry while maintaining his connection to football through his charitable work.
