- After winning the 2022 World Cup, it is now confirmed that Lionel Messi has completed football. He had already won every other trophy, and that World Cup win was just the final piece of the puzzle.
But is Messi the only player who belongs in this category? Definitely not. Let’s look at nine players who completed football.
For the sake of this video, we’ll be looking at players who won the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Ballon d’Or, representing the pinnacle of international football, club football, and individual achievement, respectively.

Zizou has won as player and as manager. Now I want him to win as referee
birth a champion too : ) real talk though he walked away hes still 100 sharp as tack and remarkably healthy for all time great. Among all his abilities he was always available , along with messi and ronaldo lima hes my favorite. That france team, pirlo/maldini italy, xavo/iniesta spain, ronaldo/rivaldo/ronaldinho/carlos brazil. Favorite all time teams all in 8 period that I think will be looked at as golden age for sport.
Every intl power made a final in either euro, world cup, copa in 2002-2012. Spain, france, portugal, netherlands, italy, germany, belgium, argentina, brazil, uruguay all had opportunitie to win top tounraments in one ten year period despite dynasties like spain and zidanes france such was depth of talent in the generation. Only team that struggled considering pedigree was england but lot had to di with emphasis on club football as talent was never issue just priority and they look to likely be 1a or 1 favorite for about every tournament in next decade So muh depth.
i want him to coach france and win the world cup. He will be mr extra ordinary
you are mad🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
well, wining the UCL with real madrid counts for the referee usually
@@peteremmanuelkitsamba4867I also thought as much. 😂😂😂😂
Messi has also Copa America, U20 WC, Olympic gold medal (an underrated achievement) along with WC, UCL and double-digit league titles and most importantly winning the "Best player" award in every competition.
He has also won the Treble twice and the Sextuple once.
He has really gone to an unreachable place.
6 golden boots
Right and also two golden wc balls.. something no one has ever achieved. Also got robbed of the puskas and woulda won it in 2007 if it started that year
Bro gave him the Gluck Gluck 3k my boi Messi doesn’t know you exist
@@rayano3816 should of won 2015… he lost to a legit fifa player who was playing low level football lol, no joke check it out
Your right about Olympic gold medal underrated 🥇👍
Messi won u20 world cup.. Olympic football trophy... Senior team world cup...champions leagues.. balloon dors... Amazing achievement..
Copa America and double digit
League titles also.
Oh also completed theTreble twice and the Sextuple once.

Mathaus, Ronaldo, Cannavaro, didn't win CL, but won everthing else
A lot of players (most of German squad 2014, Spain 2010, Henry, Cafu, Roberto Carlos etc.) didn't win Ballon D'or, but won everything else
Di Stefano, Kopa, Luis Suarez (spanish player), Dennis Law, Rivera, Eusebio, Best, Cruyff, Kevin Keegan, Rummenigge, Platini, Guillit, Van Basten, Papin, Stoichkov, Sammer, Figo, Shevchenko, Modric didn't won the World Cup
That is why they was not listed here.
Henry was so robbed
Ronaldo Nazario should be another honorary mention since he won 2 World Cups, 2 Ballon d'Ors, and many other notable titles. Unfortunately, he's just missing a UCL trophy despite playing for 4 (arguably 5) of Europe's biggest clubs.
He spent his time on bench in 94 world cup
@@yogeshcyr31 still in the squad and still won the trophy
no ucl so why would he be mentioned.
@@london8615 cuz he won 2 WC and 2 Balon d'Ors? If Pele got mentioned, then surely R9 gets mentioned too
@@joshuateixeira2709 but he didn’t win every competition he was in, Pelé did.
In total, Lionel Messi has won 97 trophies throughout his career. As a player for Barcelona, he took home a whopping 35 trophies during his 17-year run with the first team. He has also won 53 individual trophies.
“You can’t be the greatest of all time if you haven’t performed and won on the biggest stage of them all… The World Cup” - Shaka Hislop
Sure, it helps a players case, but if that's the only criteria a person has, it's quite silly.
Let's be honest Shaka Hislop?
@@ROC14088 He is mentioning it because the guy Hislop was saying that as an argument against Messi before 2022.
@@nikosofidemporas correct ✅
@@ROC14088better pundit than footballer lol
I personally think that Alvarez and Mbappe would achieve it sooner or later! Jamal Musiala and Jude Bellingham also are close, but for Haaland it's too difficult to compete in the World cup.
I thin Mbappe (Fifa wc) and Julian Alvarez(Fifa wc + UCL) can get into the 3 crown club (completing football by getting 3 most prestigious trophies in the world of footbal).
at least 1 ballon d'r (individual best player award) + at least 1 UCL (club team level best trophy) + at least 1 FIFA world cup (country team level best trophy).
Julian is very close and can get at least 1 ballon d'r also. If Mbappe will choose right club he win UCL and Ballon d'r both. I think Julian will surely win 1 ballon d'r as per he is performing very well right now and Man City is good club as per now but Halland is his competitor from same club.
next Neymar?
Alvarez won't win the Ballon d'or bro! Its not a joke. You have to be an all time great to win one
@@Kushagra.j it's very difficult.
Alvarez will never win a Ballon d'Or without scoring around 50 goals per season like Mbappe and Haaland do.
wow. This thinking shows where football is headed. "Because you won this and this, you are an all-timer"..If Alvarez win Balon DOR today, I wouldnt even still think of mentioning him above Neymar.
Truly complete football? There's only 1 name and He is Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccitini.
The God of Football. Alien. Freak. Something else entirely. Magician. The Messiah. One of a kind.
The titles and names He has just makes me have goosebumps all over. Leo is just light-years ahead of everyone else but He is so down to earth. Gianluigi Buffon was joking when he touched Leo's face to check and confirm if he is human, but I think that's not a joke anymore. Because He really doesn't behave the way most of us would have if we accomplished half of what He has.
Putting him as the last name on this list which makes him the best of best, greatest of all there was, is and will be is the only logical option.
Muchas gracias por todo Leo. I fkin love you.
U are absolutely right about leo, truly completed football as nothing is left for him..but u do realize right, that your comment will very soon attract haters like flies towards uncovered food, especially when its very sweet 😂, be ready for that brother..or put a cover
Idk man.. I’m a fan however he only won things in Spain.. never moved clubs and was successfull not even with arguable the best 2 players surrounding him in Paris he had a horrible time in France and moved to the US with the young age of 35 where hehave gone back to Barca get a great team arround him again to win.he is one of the goats for sure especially after having won the World Cup but how do you conquer football if you only won something in Spain?
Nut hugging. So cringe
@@PANCHOSWAY where did he win is not important. He won everything, and a lot.
@@mousommaji1642 let them be. There is not point arguing or trying to convince those who persist on going against what is obvious to every senses we have.
More than ⅔ of players, managers, coaches of the past and present is on this side since 2012, after the 2022 World Cup? The debate is beyond over. Legends who never even played alongside or coached Leo like Maldini, Pirlo, Zidane, Alan Shearer, Cafu, Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, Cantona, Nesta, Zambrotta, van Persie, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Owen, Lahm, Souness and so many more.
One's who have played and trained with Messi don't even bother about silly debates. They saw all sorts of wizardry sorcery I wish I can see because I can't get enough of Him.
Messi is The God of Football. The end.
There is just one = Messi
Absolutely 😊
That's why Videos like these are made to remind idiots that started watching football since yesterday.
@@robcurios740someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed
You can’t be serious if have seen Maradona. And I hate the guy…
@@fan2hd277 you are just hater. God help you
1. Kaka played too little to be a World Champ (a few minutes against Costa Rica in the group stage) and Rivaldo didn't make the squad for the 2003 UCL final (and he had an awful 2002/03 season, for a player of his stature and abilities). But facts are facts... 2. You have decent living conditions, great weather, great food, beautiful women (many of them foreign, but who cares!?), great wines and great cars. Why would you ever consider leaving this fine country!? DID I MENTION THAT SERIE A WAS THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD IN THE 80s AND 90s!? Even today, to leave a club like AC Milan to chase a bigger wage at, let's say, Newcastle United in the cold North can be a risky bet...
Women... Women... Women... Huhhhh women
I'm glad you included the great and one and only Paolo Rossi.⚽🏆🥇🇮🇹. RIP.
Beckenbauer is the only one who truly completed football, as he won everything there is to win as a player AND won a worldcup as a coach, as well as becoming the President of Bayern Munich.
If Zidane wins the worldcup with France and then takes over as President of Real Madrid, he would be the second one
Lionel Messi has every award: U-20 wc, olympic gold, finalissima, copa america, copa america pott, wc, 2x wc pott, golden boy, 4x UCL, 12 league titles, 7 domestic cup, 9 domestic supercup, 3 uefa supercup, 3 club world cup, leagues cup, SEXTUPLE(only 2 teams ever have won it), 2x treble, and many many individual awards 800+ goals 340+ assists 340+ motm 8.4 average rating for 1000 matches, messi won motm 54% of victorious matches
@@thereareonly2genders887 bla bla bla did he win the worldcup as a coach yet? No?
Beckenbauer has so many other achievements as well, which I did not include.
This is about completing football, not about Messi fangirls throwing a tantrum^^
Is Messi even the most successfull player ever?
He is the most skilled one of all time in terms of dribbling, thats true

Ronaldinho is the reason i still use his skills to this day, even my son does and hes 9...

May him rest in peace
Ronaldinho also won the Copa Libertadores, which is probably the hardest club trophy to win.
How
@@hihackersam9176 don't mind him
bro it's not give it up
It's really not the hardest one to win 😂😂 put the crack down
But didn't win de Brasileiro Serie A.
Why did not include the euros and copa americas trophies? They are very important continental trophies for national teams and usually a launching pad for a good world cup campaign at least
Ballon d'or + World Cup + Champion's League = Tripple crown club. The most honorable list in football.
Because continental cups are not bigger than world cups. It's called triple crown for a reason.
@@obitouchiha4739 Thanks
@@eliadcollinszachary5135 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Angel di maria Also completed football... Man he never gets the respect he deserves
Does he have a Ballon d'Or?
Ronaldinho was genius in his prime
Concerning Messi's nickname, "La Pulga" does not means "The Magician". It means "The Flea". Most likely due to his size, speed, and dribling. ;)
Mbappe should be next if he moves to Real Madrid
He's staying in Paris.
Only Ronadinho was in jail and won the prison championship. He also has a Libertadores in his gallery. He is the true legend.
Just a small correction, The King Pelé won the Libertadores 2 times, in 62 and 63, his team Santos only won the third one this century.
Noted
Lothar Mattaus is missing! Hasn’t won the UCL (2x final) but EVERYTHING else 😊
Wow
Then, not in the criteria.
He's not missing. He never won the UCL
Well hes not missing then is he from your own explination
Your brain is missing
Ronaldinho
- World Cup, Copa America, UEFA Champions League, Confederations Cup, Copa Libertadores
- Ballon d'Or, 2x FIFA World Player of the Year, UEFA Club Footballer, South American Footballer of the Year
Johan completed football that much as a player and a coach that you still see his influence heavily
Pele 👑
Paulo Rossi is sooo underrated man
True, he definetly need the recognition he deserve, man single handedly destroy one of the great team of brazil that had zico,sòcrates,falcao 😶
He really for me is the goat of italian football other then maldini and baggio 🇮🇹🐐
Alvarez will probably be the next one. Respectfully of course to all the past legends.
According to this criteria, he doesn't have a Ballon d'Or.
@@Luso00_then what about kaka he won the wc with zero contribution
@@memegod-ib2edwc and cl trophies are team efforts which means you win them by simply being on the team as long as your team wins the competition. The Ballon d‘or is a trophy for a single player so you can’t rely on teammates there.
@@chcucivtxzclccucifudohzfu6766 if you think about it every striker to ever win the bdor relied on their teammates to win it
@@memegod-ib2edthis kid compared goat kaka to benchwarmer alvarez 💀
Alexia putellas n bonmati has done this for the women's football world. Putellas won 2 bdor feminine (2021, 2022), 2 uwcl (2021, 2023), wc (2023). N bonmati the only one to have gather all 3 in the same year in 2023. Whilst vicente del bosque the only manager to have won wc (2010), ucl (2000, 2002) n fifa world coach of the year (2012), the greatest achievment for a manager
Ronaldinho never won a National Cup, Olympic Gold Medal, Club World Cup
Rivaldo never won A National Super cup, Olympic Gold Medal, Club World Cup
Kaka never won a Copa America, Olympic Gold Medal
Rossi never won the European Championship
Zidane never won a National Cup, Olympic Gold Medal
Gerd Muller never won a Super Cup or Olympic Gold Medal
Bobby Charlton never won a euros or Olympic Gold Medal
Pele never won a Copa America, Olympic Gold Medal
Messi never won… he won everything 🇦🇷🏆🐐
Olympics is essentially a youth tournament. It was only held to a high regard when the World Cup wasnt in existence yet. Plus, Kaka never competed in a Copa America and Pele played in one Copa America and he was 18 years old and never played again. How many times did Messi compete in Copa America until he finally won with Argentina?
@@Luso00_ how many times did maradona play in World Cup before he won, or how many times klopp try win premier league?… it doesn’t matter he won is all will be remembered buddy
Lol, the Club World Cup is very recent in football history.
@@Patrick-387 lol, that’s why I only said it on the very recent players.
Edit: just delete your last post or instead just
👇
Only 1 player completed football. Lionel Andres Messi
Too many comments that dont understand the meaning "completed" here.
2 women also have achieved this feat!
Alexia Putellas:
2023 World Cup
20/21 & 22/23 Champions League
2021 & 2022 Ballon d'Or
Aitana Bonmati:
2023 World Cup
20/21 & 22/23 Champions League
2023 Ballon d'Or
Who gives a sh*t about parasports ? 🙄
2026 an England player or 2 could be on the list if they win World Cup and a ballon dor next year and 2026
and zidane success as player also as manager..
We can’t forget about the living legend that completed football at the tender age of 23… Argentina’s own… JULIAN ALVAREZ!!!
All he really needs is a ballon d’or, if you think about it… 😅
Great achievements for a benchwarmer
still doesn’t change the fact that Magurie has more champions league goals than Rashford this season
😂😂
If you expand it to include South America's Footballer of the Year and the Copa Libertadores, three more names are added. Raí, Cafu and Julián Álvarez
So all you have to do is win the world cup, ballon d'or and the champions league to complete football, completing football is when a player wins every trophy there is to win for club and country and i think a few on that list didn't do that, Zidane won the 98 world cup, 2000 euros, the champions league, league winner, ballon d'or winner, for me that's completing football
bro if zizou wins the euro and world cup as manger for france or any country would be crazy
Brazil 2002 pure of talent
I think mbappe and alvarez can be the 10th n 11th man to complete football.
Alvarez having won the wc n champions league already....
N if mbappe chooses to leave psg he can surely secure a champions league title n ballon d'or seeing his potential....
Alvarez already has wc n champions league.. may be he can win a ballon d'or if he continues scoring goal n even create goal scoring opportunities....
Alvarez is much underrated when compared to mbappe n halland....
Italians are just very loyal
Rivaldo was a reserve in that Milan team. That doesn’t count. Same with Kaka. He didn’t play in 2002
Zidane would be in top 3 best players in the history if did won the 2006 World Cup.
Nobody completed football other than messi...
This social media phrase even began describing what all things he won.. And then just like anything else it is made stupid and used for any footballer who has won trophies from multiple categories and even for players who just won many trophies
Pele , 3 wc , 7 ballon dors ,2 copa libatadoros ,2 intercontinental cups, one honary ballon dor , 800 goals , 350 assits. One of the goats
Messi , 1 wc eight ballon dor , four ucl six golden boot u20 wc Olympics one of the goats.
And for Messi 820 goals and 350 assists
M’Bappe will be the next one. He just need to join a real club.
Ik that Ronaldo does not have a world cup but i think he should be a foot ball legend to.
He is not
Simple
Messi the goat
Just Culture and Pride.
What about cafu?? Two world cups, two copa America,, two copa libertadores , and a champions league.... .. won it all everywhere
Team achievements, yes. But no Ballon d'Or. I love Cafu, he had 4 lungs and could run all day, great awareness too.
benzema was close but his absance from the 2018 france squad prevented him
Imo there are a lot of players missing such as Cruijff
"La pulga" means "The flea"
Also France vs Argentina in 2018 was round of 16
Rivaldo is so underrated
Muller has far better goal ratio then any player ever, including Messi. The key statistics are: domestic league and european competitions for club and matches played at world cup and matches played overall for national team.
How many checkatrade trophies do they have
Rossi and Charlton shouldn't be included on this list since they've never won the Euro
Charlton maybe...
But Rossi.. He really deserved this title. Because he won a World cup,Golden Boot, Golden ball in one tournament.. (only 3 players have done that Garrincha,Kempes,Rossi)
And that most special thing is he redeemed himself after he got suspended for 2 years by match-fixing at first,many Italians criticized him as a "cheater" but after he carried italy to win a world cup.. he became Italian's hero and won Ballon'dor at that year
He might have carried italy to win 1980 euro but suddenly,he got suspended...(italy finished fourth place because goals different is less than Belgium in group stage and lost on Czechoslovakia on penalties in 3rd place playoff)
Julian Alvares will win the Ballon d'or someday
Alvarez is not a key player at the moment. he needs to win ucl, wc and many other trophies as a key player not as a benchwarmer. im sure one day he will achieve that.
Modric was so close
At 23 years old Julian Alvarez is a ballon dor away to complete football
What about Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal 🇵🇹

You also have to win the euros or copa america to "complete" football, not everybody on this list have done that.

nah you're cookin here
Only Messi has truly "completed" football.
Has he won the worldcup as a player and trainer?
@charliegold3227 we're talking about players' accomplishments, not coaches
The best ending,,, some fan might hate this video cause someone who called himself GOAT became a COW(ard),, football only one GOAT and his name is Leonel messi,,,
benzema has also completed football winning the ballon d'or the champions league and the world cup 2018 but you did not add him so in your next video make sure you had him to complete the 10th man who has completed football in football history
benzema wasnt in the squad for frances world cup win.

You know that Balon d'Or is a clown award right? It should not be the barometer to determine footballers who have won everything.
Italians only play in Italy because why would they live anywhere else.

RONALDINO also won the libertadores, and copa america
Cristiano Ronaldo deserved an honorary mention. Great video though
Deserve nothing. Earn it
"El Fenómeno" is just wrong. That's spanish, not portuguese neither Italian, where the nickname came from. It's either "O Fenômeno" or "Il Fenomeno".

Its italian bro

Alvarez
No Ballon d'Or.
No libertadores no completion. Ronaldinho and Alvarez have it all.
For me a world cup would be enough
How do you say Ronaldinho did not win much in his career.
He has the most crucial goal/assists in the 2002wc, managed to revive Barca to the ucl 🏆 after nearly 2 decades
How did kaka win the worldcup 😂😂
While other players were on the pitch running/giving assists/scoring ...kaka was just on the bench
