.webp)
Between them, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have won 85 team trophies. Not individual awards — actual silverware lifted on pitches across four continents, spanning two decades of relentless competition. Messi has 48. Ronaldo has 37. But the raw numbers only tell part of the story.
What follows is every single trophy both players have won, organized by club and country, with the context that makes those numbers meaningful.
Lionel Messi: 48 Trophies
Barcelona (35 trophies)
Messi spent 17 seasons at Barcelona. The club won more trophies during his tenure than in any other period of its history.
La Liga (10): 2004/05, 2005/06, 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11, 2012/13, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2017/18, 2018/19
Ten league titles across three different decades. Most elite players consider two or three a remarkable career.
UEFA Champions League (4): 2005/06, 2008/09, 2010/11, 2014/15
The 2009 final against Manchester United featured Messi's looping header over Edwin van der Sar — a goal still replayed in Champions League highlight reels. The 2011 final at Wembley saw Barcelona deliver one of the most complete team performances in European football history.
Copa del Rey (7): 2008/09, 2011/12, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2020/21

Inter Miami (3 trophies)
Messi's arrival transformed the club almost overnight:
Leagues Cup (1): 2023
MLS Supporters' Shield (1): 2024
MLS Cup (1): 2025
Argentina (6 trophies)
For over a decade, Messi's international career was defined by near-misses. Then, in a three-year span, he won everything.
FIFA U-20 World Cup (1): 2005
Olympic Gold Medal (1): 2008
Copa América (2): 2021, 2024
CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions / Finalissima (1): 2022
FIFA World Cup (1): 2022
The 2022 World Cup final against France is already part of football folklore. Messi scored twice in a 3-3 draw, then converted Argentina's first penalty in the shootout. When Gonzalo Montiel scored the winning spot-kick, Messi sank to his knees at the center circle. He had won every major trophy available in the sport.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 37 Trophies
Sporting CP (1 trophy)
Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira (1): 2002
His first professional honour, won as a 17-year-old before his move to Manchester.
Manchester United (10 trophies)
Across two spells at Old Trafford, Ronaldo collected a full set of English silverware:

Community Shield (2): 2007, 2008
FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2008
The 2008 Champions League final in Moscow was Ronaldo's breakthrough on the biggest stage. He headed United in front, missed in the shootout, and then broke down in tears when Edwin van der Sar's save secured the trophy. It was his first European Cup. Four more would follow.
Real Madrid (16 trophies)
Nine seasons in Spain produced the most decorated period of his career:
La Liga (2): 2011/12, 2016/17
UEFA Champions League (4): 2013/14, 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18

FIFA Club World Cup (3): 2014, 2016, 2017
Four Champions League titles in five seasons between 2014 and 2018 — including three consecutive wins from 2016 to 2018. No club had achieved that in the modern Champions League era. Ronaldo scored in all four finals.
