Lionel Messi of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Barcelona icon Dani Alves could tie for the title of most decorated football player in history. He would have to win the Ligue 1 championship this year in order to do that.
The Parisians are on track to win the French championship this year once more. They are six points ahead of RC Lens in second position with 81 points after 35 games.
Throughout his career, Lionel Messi has won 41 major trophies for his clubs and nation. By winning the Ligue 1 this year, he will be able to equalize Alves’ 42 trophy record. Messi’s career highlights include winning the FIFA World Cup, three UEFA Champions League crowns, 10 La Liga championships, one Copa America, and others.
During the latter part of the season, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe have carried PSG’s assault in Neymar’s absence. This season, in 38 games across tournaments, the 35-year-old has 20 goals and 19 assists.
As a rookie in France, Messi won the Ligue 1. He appears to be planning to do so during what may be his final season in the nation.
