Argentinian superstar, Lionel Messi, was recently honored by his MLS club, Inter Miami, after securing victory in the Copa América tournament with his national team. This victory marked Messi’s 45th title, making him the most decorated player in the history of football. The club president, Jorge Mas, took the opportunity to congratulate Messi on this significant milestone.
Prior to Inter Miami’s league match against the Chicago Fire, Messi was presented with a special commemorative picture by club president, Jorge Mas. The picture featured a montage of images showcasing all the silverware that Messi has accumulated throughout his illustrious career, with the number 45 displayed prominently. Mas expressed his admiration for Messi’s achievements, stating that he believes Messi will continue to add to his impressive trophy collection in the future.
During the ceremony, Messi was seen wearing a protective boot due to a ligament injury in his right ankle, which he sustained during the Copa América final. Despite the injury, Messi expressed his gratitude to Inter Miami for the recognition, emphasizing that he was grateful to celebrate the moment with the club’s supporters.
The majority of Messi’s trophies, 35 out of 45, were won during his extensive stint at Barcelona, where he won numerous domestic and international titles, including four Champions League trophies. Following his departure from Barcelona, Messi spent two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, where he added to his collection of silverware before joining Inter Miami in 2023.
In his first season with Inter Miami, Messi played a pivotal role in helping the club secure its first trophy, the 2023 Leagues Cup. Despite his injury setback, Messi’s presence has been instrumental in elevating the team’s success on the field. As Messi looks ahead to the future, there is no doubt that he will continue to strive for greatness and add to his already impressive trophy haul.
