How Many More Trophies Leo Messi Needs To Surpass Dani Alves As Most Decorated Player Of All Time

Lionel Messi is closer than ever to becoming the most decorated player in the history of football after winning the World Cup.

Dani Alves currently holds that title with 43 trophies to his name, but Messi is within touching distance with 42 trophies. Here's how both players compare:

However, if we take out the Finalissima for Messi, which is still a debatable trophy, Alves will be ahead of Leo by two titles.

Thus, Messi would become the undisputed most-decorated footballer in history if he wins three more titles.

Given that Messi is still playing active football for PSG you wouldn't put it past him to overtake Alves as early as the end of this season.
