Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has become the player with the most trophies in football history.
Messi played for 60 minutes as his country beat Colombia 1-0 in the final of the 2024 Copa America.
This is the 45th piece of silverware the 37-year-old has won in his career.
Messi breaks the record that was initially held by ex-Barcelona teammate Dani Alves (44).
Messi won 35 of his club career titles at Barcelona and six trophies with Argentina, including Copa America 2021 and Copa America 2024.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner also won the Olympic gold medal at Beijing 2008.
After joining PSG in 2021, Messi added three trophies to his cabinet – Ligue 1 (2021-22), (2022-23) and Trophee des Champions (2022).
He also won the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Argentina and the Leagues Cup 2023 trophy with Inter Miami.
