Winning the World Cup, this Sunday (18), was the 42nd title of Lionel Messi’s career, five with the Argentine national team (including a U-20 World Cup and an edition of the Olympic Games), 35 with Barcelona and two by Paris Saint-Germain.

The ace has also received dozens of individual awards. The main ones are the seven Golden Balls, awarded to the best player in the world, two more than the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

In Qatar, he was named the best player of the World Cup for the second time. In Brazil, in 2014, he lost the final to Germany, but kept the individual prize.
