The Argentine legend ended his association with La Liga giants in 2021, opting for a move to Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. Following two seasons in France, Messi pursued an American dream by joining MLS last summer.

After leading Argentina to victory in the World Cup in Qatar 2022, Messi was awarded his eighth Golden Ball in 2023. Additionally, he played a pivotal role in Inter Miami’s triumph in the Leagues Cup, solidifying his status as the most decorated player in history with a remarkable 44 major honors.

Messi faces a challenge in showcasing his extensive collection of trophies at home due to space constraints. Fortunately, Barcelona has stepped in to assist, with seven of his Ballons d’Or already exhibited in the official museum of the Catalan club. E-Noticies has disclosed that the eighth Ballon d’Or is en route to joining this illustrious display.

Messi has previously said: “Everything I own is in Barcelona, there at the museum. Ballons d’Or, Golden Boots, everything.” This sentiment will persist even as he now plays in the United States, as it is inconceivable for him to sever emotional and professional ties with the Blaugrana.
