The best footballer in the world will have the chance to expand his showcases next year: he could win up to eight more titles. I know the details.
Lionel Messi will face in 2024 the twentieth (20) season of his career as a footballer, a lifetime. Although he is already the player with the most titles won in the history of football, the Rosario’s insatiable competitive spirit will make him go for more.
That being the case, we will tell you which are the 8 titles that Messi could win in 2024both with his club and with the national team.
With the Argentine National Team
- With the Argentine team he will face a new, very particular challenge: defending the title of the America Cup for the first time (after the one won in 2021).
The Conmebol continental competition will also feature Concacaf teams in 2024, since it will be held in the United States. Argentina’s rivals in the group stage will be Peru, Chile and Canada, if it overcomes the playoff with Trinidad and Tobago.
- The other is more remote and does not depend on him, since his presence has not yet been established nor is the team classified: these are the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
At the end of January, the U-23 team led by Javier Mascherano plays the Pre-Olympic. In case of qualifying, each country can take three players over 23 years of age. If Messi wants it, he would be one of them.
With Inter Miami
Meanwhile, the titles that Lionel Messi can achieve with the American team are several, due to the extensive calendar and multiple competitions.
- The 2024 season will be the first in which the entire league will play. MLS. Unlike this year, Inter Miami must first qualify for the Playoffs and then fight for the title.
- For the second, defend the championship of the Leagues Cupthe tournament with Mexican teams that Messi won as soon as he reached Inter Miami (his only title there for now).
- The Interamerican Cup. He won the chance to compete for this new Conmebol and Concacaf title for having just won the Leagues Cup. He will compete against León de México (champion of the Concacaf Champions League), Fluminense (champion of the Copa Libertadores) and Liga de Quito (South American Cup champion).
- Concacaf Champions League. There, the winner of the match between Nashville and Deportivo Moca, from the Dominican Republic, awaits in the round of 16. If they are champions, Inter Miami would earn the right to compete in the Intercontinental Cup at the end of the year.
- Intercontinental Cupa tournament that will replace the Club World Cup (it will be held every four years starting in 2025) and will be made up of the six teams that won the previous edition of the continental championships in each FIFA confederation.
- The sixth and last is the US Open Cup. Inter Miami was runner-up in this competition in 2023 and there is controversy on the horizon for next year. The MLS asked US Soccer (our AFA) to have its affiliate teams participate in the tournament. However, the entity rejected the proposal, although each team is free to send the players it considers to play.
