Messi, Ronaldo, Zlatan, Pique: Who has most trophies in football history?

Lionel Messi became only the second footballer in history to win a 40th career trophy on Wednesday night.

The legendary forward, regarded by many as the greatest player of all time, inspired Argentina to a 3-0 victory over Italy to claim Finalissima success at Wembley.

Finalissima – Italian for ‘grand final’ – is an official trophy awarded to the victors of a one-off match between the winners of UEFA’s European Championship and CONMEBOL’s Copa America.

And it was Argentina who triumphed in London on Wednesday evening, recording a convincing 3-0 win thanks to goals from Lautaro Martinez, Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala.

But 34-year-old Messi was the star of the show, producing two assists and running the game.

Messi, who has endured a difficult debut season with Paris Saint-Germain but looked back to his extraordinary best against the Italians, added a second international trophy to his collection in the process.

The South American subsequently equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s record. The Manchester United star has won two international trophies with Portugal: Euro 2016 and the 2018-18 UEFA Nations League.
