Lionel Messi is considered to be one of the best footballers of all time, and that is reflected in his incredible trophy haul.
In the summer of 2021, Messi completed the most high-profile free agent move ever, joining Paris Saint-Germain after a hugely successful period at Barca.
The Argentine may not have enjoyed a vintage campaign in 2021/22, with just six goals scored in Ligue 1, but he added yet more silverware to his ever-expanding trophy cabinet by claiming the Ligue 1 title. He also grabbed 15 league assists in what would've been considered an impressive first season for anyone else.
