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.

Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has criticized manager Erik ten Hag and the team’s style of play, expressing doubt about their chances of winning the Premier League under his leadership.

Speaking to beIN Sports, Yorke said, “We’re far from winning the Premier League. After Ten Hag’s first season, we believed he could lead us forward, but that hasn’t happened. Yes, we won the FA Cup last season, but that doesn’t make us a strong team. The way we play, our league position, and our goal stats are the worst in the club’s Premier League history since 1992.”
