Messi has another team trophy to hoist, which would mean another parade for Fort Lauderdale to plan along the beach after the Florida Panthers set the bar in June.

Messi became the first recipient of the MARCA America Award, presented by the Spain-based media company. The award recognizes Messi’s championship-laden career — one with a record 46 trophies won for club or country, and at least 56 other awards on the individual level.

Lionel Messi hasn't ruled out making another run with Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
