“Messi! I have a trophy you can never have” …I’m Barca MF’s joke → What kind of competition is it
Ivan Rakitic, who played for Barcelona in the past, joked that he has a trophy that Lionel Messi cannot have.
British “Sports Kida” reported on the 29th (Korea time) that “it revealed a funny case of how former Barcelona star Rakitic made fun of Messi while playing with him. He said there was a trophy Messi would never get.”
Messi is the best player who will make history in soccer. He grew up and made his debut with Barcelona La Masia. Since his debut in 2004, Messi has scored 672 goals in 778 matches while playing for Barcelona until he left the team in 2021.
Messi had an amazing team career when he was playing for Barcelona. He has won trophies at various competitions including the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup. He has lifted 35 trophies at Barcelona. After moving to Paris Saint-Germain, he added another career.
He also received an impressive individual award. Messi is a member of Barcelona, and has won the Ballon d’Or, which is given to the best player, six times. He was named as FIFA World Player of the Year six times and was named as FIFA World’s Best 11 15 times in a row.
He even led Argentina to victory in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which was actually the last World Cup of his career. Messi scored multiple goals in the final. He also contributed to the Golden Ball, which is given at the World Cup MVP.
He is the one who has never won a trophy. However, Rakitic, who played for Barcelona in the past, claimed that he has a trophy that Messi could never win.
Rakitic said, “I told Messi, ‘You won every competition and scored a lot of goals. But I won a trophy you will never have. You will never win the Europa League.’
The UEFA Europa League (UEL) is a lower-ranked team in the UEFA Champions League. In other words, teams that have qualified for the UCL in the European League or those that win the FA Cup will participate. Teams that were eliminated after ranking third in the UCL group stage will also participate in the UCL.
Messi has never experienced a UEL while playing for PSG in Barcelona and Paris. He has never failed to get a UCL ticket, and he has never been eliminated from the UCL group stage. Currently, Messi is playing for Inter Miami in the U.S., so chances are high that he will no longer play in European matches.
