The Rosario man has added another trophy to his extensive list and has sparked wide debate in the footballing world, as his absence from the Spanish Super Cup at the start of his career casts doubt on how many trophies he will win. he has accumulated.
Lionel Messi adds a title. One more to his long list of trophies and the first in the United States. The League Cup achieved with Inter Miami, beating Nashville on penalties, generates a long discussion on the number of championships won by the trans-Andean. For many, it is number 44 on his list, which would make him the most successful footballer in history, reaching Dani Alves. Others, on the other hand, subtract one.
What’s curious is that one of the Brazilian’s roster contests is also in question. In a way, the two could stay at 43. Or at 44, depending on the criteria with which each competition is considered. In the case of Rosario, the distribution, if we consider 44, indicates that he has won: 10 times LaLiga, 8 Spanish Super Cups, 7 Copas del Rey, 2 Ligue 1, 1 French Super Cup, 4 Champions League, 3 European Super Cup. , 3 Club World Cups, 1 U20 World Cup, 1 Olympic Gold, 1 Copa América, 1 Finalissima, 1 World Cup and now the League Cup.
However, there is one final from this long list that is being discussed: the 2005 Spanish Super Cup. The Barcelona-educated star hasn’t featured in either game in this dispute. He didn’t even go on the substitutes’ bench. Even though he was part of the first team. He missed the first leg due to illness and the return leg due to a technical decision.
The DT of the culé team explained his absence a few hours after the match against Athletic Club. “Unfortunately only 18 players can enter, but that’s nothing to worry about. There are lots of parties and there will be room for everyone,” said Frank Rijkaard, not knowing that two decades later, we would talk about this absence.
Alves Trophies
Dani Alves had a long and successful football career. The one who today looks stained and takes a back seat due to his time in prison. However, for a long time he was the most successful football player of all time. A condition that has not been mentioned. Today, we wonder if it has been exceeded or not.
Like Messi, most of his championships have been won with Barcelona. The Brazilian has had glorious years in the Blaugrana cast. He has won 4 King’s Cups, 6 Liga, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 3 Club World Cups and 3 Champions League. Before playing in Catalonia, he won 1 Copa del Rey, 1 Spanish Super Cup, 2 UEFA Cups and 1 European Super Cup with Sevilla.
Then the Iberian Peninsula left and continued to reap victories. In Italy, he won 1 Italian Cup and 1 Serie A, with Juventus. Later, he won 2 Ligue 1, 1 Super Coupe de France, 1 Coupe de la Liga and 1 Coupe de France, with PSG. With his national team, successes have also been there: 1 Under-20 World Cup, 2 Copas América, 2 Confederations Cups and 1 Olympic gold medal.
He also added, and here are the disputes, other contests in his country. With Sao Paulo he won the 2021 Paulista Championship and with Bahia the Copa do Nordeste in 2001 and 2002. But his absence from the field in the premiere with the Bahian cast casts doubt. A situation similar to that of Messi.
