# Lionel Messi

> The numbers alone don't explain it - eight Ballons d'Or, 46 team trophies, over 1,300 goal contributions - but they frame the span of what one left foot did across two decades. Argentina's long wait for a World Cup ended because he was still there in 2022.

*Argentine association football player (born 1987)*

## Bio

Lionel Andrés Messi made his debut for Barcelona at 17 in October 2004, and by the 2008-09 season had helped deliver the club's first treble, winning the first of four straight Ballons d'Or in the process. He became Barcelona's all-time top scorer, led them to a second treble in 2014-15, and left in August 2021 with 34 trophies after financial collapse forced the exit. For Argentina, the path was harder: three straight final losses between 2014 and 2016, a brief retirement, then the 2021 Copa América that broke a 28-year drought. The 2022 World Cup - his fifth attempt - delivered the title the country hadn't held since 1986. He joined Inter Miami in July 2023, won back-to-back MVPs, and led them to their first MLS Cup in 2025, the same year he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and was named the all-time best by the IFFHS.
