24-MIA-Trophies

With Inter Miami CF capturing the 2024 MLS Supporters’ Shield, Lionel Messi’s trophy cabinet continues to grow.

After winning Leagues Cup during his first MLS season and adding a second Copa América with Argentina this summer, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner now has a world-record 46 titles across club and country.

Inter Miami win Supporters' Shield

Inter Miami have 68 points with two matches remaining, ensuring they'll finish the MLS campaign as the league's best team. If they win out, they'll establish a new single-season points record.

Along the way, Messi has 17g/15a in just 17 matches. Even more, Inter Miami have secured home-field advantage throughout the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs.

With the Supporters' Shield in tow, does an MLS Cup presented by Audi title follow on Dec. 7?

Leagues Cup magic

Messi’s stateside arrival included a Hollywood-esque run to the 2023 League Cup title.

He started his Inter Miami tenure in sparkling fashion, scoring a magical stoppage-time free-kick winner against Cruz Azul on his debut. Miami dominated the competition, capped by a thrilling 10-9 win on penalties over Nashville SC in the final.

Along the way, Messi tallied 10g/4a in seven matches.

Messi's FC Barcelona trophies

Before coming to MLS, Messi won 35 titles with FC Barcelona, including four UEFA Champions League titles and 10 LaLiga titles.

Many of those came alongside now-Miami teammates Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez before he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
