Ronaldo is one of the most decorated players in history

#2 Lionel Messi - 34 trophies won

Like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi needs no introduction anywhere in the world, as together the pair has utterly raised the bars of what was considered possible in football.

The Argentine maestro’s feats are well documented, and with Barcelona he has established his status as the best player in the club’s history even though his standing with Argentina is less exalted.

All 34 of the major trophies won have come in the colours of Barcelona, and the Blaugrana have undoubtedly been better off for accepting to bear the costs of treating a prodigiously talented youngster from Rosario, Argentina.

For as long as Cristiano Ronaldo remains on the scene, it is highly likely that Messi would also feature and Barcelona’s standing at an elite club all but guarantees that at least a trophy or two would be won every season, while Argentina’s co-hosting of the Copa America with Uruguay in 2020 offers him another opportunity to end his international trophy drought.
