5 famous acrimonious player-trophy relationships

#1 Lionel Messi- Fifa World Cup

5 Ballon d'Ors, 4-time Champions League winner, 9 LaLiga titles, 3-time FIFA Club World Cup winner and the list goes on and on! A trophy cabinet one dreams of, Lionel Messi is a bonafide legend whose place in the history books is nothing but confirmed. Putting Lionel Messi’s incredible career in words might take some doing considering the fact that the little Argentinian is often considered the greatest player of all time.

Of all Lionel Messi’s achievements, there is one major championship missing and that is the FIFA World Cup.

When Argentina faced Germany in the final of 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the whole world went berserk as they hoped it to be the day when Lionel Messi replicates what Maradona did years back in 1986.

There is no doubt in Messi being one of the greatest of all-time, some might say he is the greatest of all-time but the missing World Cup winner’s medal tells a different story.
