After winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina, Lionel Messi got to lift one of few trophies that had eluded him throughout his career.
At club level, the attacker rarely goes a season without picking up a title and he won four UEFA Champions League crowns with Barcelona.
But until just a few years ago, Messi's international record didn't make for such great reading, as he lost a number of finals with Argentina.
Thanks to his recent success, the iconic No.10 seems to be finishing his career on the global stage with an almighty bang, as he all but completes the trophy bingo of modern football.

Messi's trophy cabinet at the international level has quickly filled over the past two years with the 2022 World Cup proving his crowning glory.
The Argentine broke his senior international trophy drought in 2021 as he won the Copa America final at his fourth attempt.
Prior to that, Messi had won titles with Argentina's U20 and Olympic team over a decade earlier.

Lionel Messi trophies with Inter Miami
The Argentine star had an immediate impact in the United States, joining Inter Miami and instantly leading the South Florida side to their first trophy in club history with the 2023 Leagues Cup. Messi's contributions were nothing short of immense, as the club sat bottom of the Eastern Conference when he arrived, but with his influence they exploded to life.
Messi has the chance to help Inter Miami to another title as the club is set to contest the U.S. Open Cup final against the Houston Dynamo.
He will need to help the club climb the MLS standings if he wishes to have a shot at the league title, as they must first qualify for the playoffs to be afforded a chance at the championship.

Lionel Messi trophies with PSG
The Argentine only played two seasons with PSG, but he picked up another three pieces of silverware in France.
However, the Parisian giants were really hoping Messi would have helped them to win the Champions League title, which did not come to fruition during his time at the club.

Lionel Messi individual awards
All of those team trophies wouldn't have flowed so freely if it wasn't for Messi himself.
His magic in the final third has captivated the world for the past 15 years and as a result he's picked up numerous individual honours.
His seven Ballon d'Or wins is a record that will take some beating with archrival Cristiano Ronaldo stuck on five.

Trophies Messi has not won?
The World Cup was long seen as the missing piece in Messi's title collection.
Argentina's 2022 triumph over France meant he claimed the two key pieces of international silverware available to a South American player — a World Cup and Copa America.
At club level, he has won the league with his two sides to date and picked up four UEFA Champions League titles.
With Barcelona, Messi won all possible team trophies available in Spain. He is yet to match this feat in France with PSG, however, with a Coupe de France title still required after they fell short in the Round of 16 of both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 editions.
Individually, the Argentine is also yet to win a Puskas Award for best goal scored in a calendar year but he has finished runner-up three times.
