Lionel Messi’s 8th Ballon d’Or title in his career will be displayed in Barcelona’s traditional room.

E-Noticies said that the Golden Ball that the Argentine superstar received in 2023 has been successfully transported to the museum of the Camp Nou team. Thus, a total of 8 Ballon d’Or titles in “El Pulga”‘s career are on display at Barca.

Messi chose Barca as the place to store his noble personal titles.

Although he received the above title at Inter Miami, Messi decided to keep it at the Catalan club. According to Goal , because there is not enough space in the house and because he is afraid of the hassle when moving, the 36-year-old striker has long asked Barca for help in storing his personal trophies.

In 2022, Messi won the World Cup championship with the Argentina team in Qatar. This achievement greatly contributed to bringing the former Paris Saint-Germain star to the 8th Ballon d’Or title of his career in 2023.

In 2023, Messi also helped Inter Miami win the League Cup. This is the 44th trophy in the Argentine player’s career, making him the player with the most collective titles of all time.

Previously, Messi once said: “All my personal trophies, the Golden Ball or the Golden Shoe, are displayed in the Barca tradition room.” Even if he joins PSG or Inter Miami later, that doesn’t seem to have changed.
