#2 A trophy-laden career
Apart from personal accolades, Messi has won the UEFA Champions League four times, nine La Liga titles, three FIFA Club World Cup trophies and many more accolades with Barcelona. His record with his club FC Barcelona is nothing short of legendary; Messi has won the prestigious Ballon d'Or award a record five times in his career, four European Golden Shoes for scoring the maximum number of goals in all competitions in a season and five Pichichi trophies for scoring the maximum number of goals in a single La Liga season.
But for a person of his stature who scores goals for fun and breaks records every other match, his trophy cabinet misses a major international trophy even though he has multiple accolades to his name.
He had multiple opportunities to win an international trophy for his country but he failed to do so. Three Copa Americas and a World Cup has already slipped out of his hands. Can he do so this time?
