Winning any trophy in any sport is an incredible accomplishment and football is no different. Some players manage it with relative ease while others work harder towards reaching their goal of silverware glory.
Who are the Kings of Trophies in Football? You may be surprised. Here are the top five players with the most trophies.
1. Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and the most decorated footballer ever. Beginning his professional career at FC Barcelona’s youth academy at age 13, he quickly rose through to their first team as his talent became clear.
Messi is known for his speed and attacking style despite his short stature, having scored more goals than any other player in Champions League history and becoming FC Barcelona and La Liga all-time leading goal scorer respectively.
Messi has captured numerous titles besides four UEFA European Championships and two Super Cups with Argentina: Ten Spanish top-division championships, eight Copa del Rey victories, three Club World Cup victories and two IFAB European Under-21 Championships are just a few to count among his numerous achievements. He won back-to-back international trophies such as Copa America and Finalissima between 2021-2022 as well.
2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Swede was an unparalleled champion. He won nearly every trophy available in the Netherlands with Ajax, Italy with Inter Milan and Juventus (though some titles were later revoked) as well as Spain with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
His first trophy in Italy came during his inaugural season in Ajax when he led them to win both league and cup double. Later that season he scored 13 league goals while leading Inter to victory, while also contributing one goal towards their Supercoppa Italia triumph over Roma.
He would win his second Serie A championship with Juventus some years later in a tighter contest, where his contribution was less vital. Since then he had gone on to claim titles with Inter and Barca, plus one League Cup win with PSG.
