What titles has Lionel Messi won with Argentina?
His career for Argentina can’t be compared with the one at Barcelona when it refers to the championships he got. It took him a lot of time to take his first one at the senior level in the Copa America played in 2021 in Brazil, where they beat the hosts 1-0 to get the trophy.
That was followed by a match vs Italy at Wembley. The new tournament called Finalissima had the South American champions facing the Europeans in a one-game showdown. After a 3-0 win he got his second one.
Those are the trophies he has at this type of competitions. Although he had other titles when he was playing for the youth team. Messi was the main player in the 2005 U20 World Cup scoring twice in the last match, and he was also a relevant star in the Olympic Games they won in 2008.
