The 34-year-old claimed his first senior international trophy with Argentina on Sunday when he and his teammates beat Brazil 1-0 in the final of the 2021 Copa America.
That, according to Transfermarkt, is the 38th trophy Messi has won in his career, with the popular sports website also counting the pieces of silverware players have won in their professional youth careers.
With that considered, Messi has technically lifted three trophies with his country, having claimed the FIFA U20 World Cup prize in 2005 and winning the football tournament at the Olympic Games in 2008, while he has also swept up 35 titles with Barcelona to date.
The out-of-contract superstar is a spot behind his former Blaugrana colleague Andres Iniesta, who has added two titles to his name in Japan with Vissel Kobe, while Messi has won three more trophies than Ronaldo, who has a remarkable 35 trophies in his cabinet.
The Portugal talisman claimed his first-ever trophy while on the books of Sporting Lisbon in 2002, in the form of the Supertaca Candido de Oliveira, with the most recent prize he won being the 2020/21 Coppa Italia with Juventus.
