Lionel Messi becomes most decorated player in the football history with 45 trophies after Copa America win Argentina.
Lautaro Martinez struck in extra time to make sure Argentina beat Colombia in the final of Copa America. Messi was strained in the second half due to injury and was emotional while leaving the pitch but his desolation later turned to joy when Lautaro scored to hand Argentina another trophy coming after their World Cup triumph in 2022.
It was in 2005 that Messi first tasted trophy after winning the Under-20 FIFA World Cup and also the 2004-05 Spanish League title with Barcelona.
After that , the Argentinian forward has clinched trophies both in club and national colours, which include multiple Copa Americas, Champions Leagues and a prestigious FIFA World Cup title.
