#3 Lionel Messi’s failure to win a major international trophy
Lionel Messi has won every individual and club prize there is to win. A player who is capable of singlehandedly winning matches for his country, Lionel Messi, apart from a solitary Olympic Gold medal has failed to win a major international trophy with the Albiceleste.
The Barcelona superstar has suffered heartbreak plenty of times in international tournaments narrowly missing out on the World Cup in 2014 and the Copa America titles in both 2015 and 2016. The heartbreak of missing out on another international trophy on penalties proved to be a bit too much for the Argentine maestro with Messi calling time on his international career.
5 time Ballon d’Or winner, 4 time Champions League winner, 8 La Liga titles, but 0 international trophies. Lionel Messi has just one thing missing in his career, but after losing 4 finals, Messi must be feeling that he is destined to never win an international trophy with his beloved Argentina.
Fans of the little magician will be hoping that Messi reconsiders his decision to retire and has one final crack in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
