With Inter Miami CF capturing the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield, Lionel Messi’s trophy cabinet continues to grow.

After winning Leagues Cup during his first MLS season and adding a second Copa América with Argentina this summer, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner now has a world-record 46 titles across club and country.

Leagues Cup magic

Messi’s stateside arrival included a Hollywood-esque run to the 2023 League Cup title.

He started his Inter Miami tenure in sparkling fashion, scoring a magical stoppage-time free-kick winner against Cruz Azul on his debut. Miami dominated the competition, capped by a thrilling 10-9 win on penalties over Nashville SC in the final.

Along the way, Messi tallied 10g/4a in seven matches.

Messi's FC Barcelona trophies

Before coming to MLS, Messi won 35 titles with FC Barcelona, including four UEFA Champions League titles and 10 LaLiga titles.

Many of those came alongside now-Miami teammates Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez before he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
