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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
