Top 10 players with the most trophies as Messi tops list after Ligue 1 glory

Lionel Messi has joined Dani Alves as one of the most decorated players in history.

The Argentine football legend achieved the landmark feat on Saturday, May 27, following Paris Saint-Germain's French Ligue 1 triumph.

PSG were crowned champions for the 11th time with a game to spare after their 1-1 draw with Strasbourg.

According to ESPN, World Cup winner Messi put PSG ahead after he was set up by Kylian Mbappe in the 59th minute before former PSG striker Kevin Gameiro equalized for Strasbourg with 11 minutes left on the clock.

The draw was still enough to secure PSG the French top-flight title as it meant Lens, who were their closest challengers, had no chance against them.

Messi becomes most decorated player

PSG's triumph now means that Messi is the most decorated footballer in history.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has now won a record 43 trophies during his illustrious football career.
