Marquinhos Closes in on Messi’s Trophy Record with Intercontinental Cup Win
Paris, December 2025 – In a thrilling finale against Flamengo, Marquinhos once again demonstrated his leadership capabilities. Despite conceding a penalty, the Paris Saint-Germain captain held his nerve during the penalty shootout to lift yet another major trophy.
Climbing the ranks of football legends
With this latest win, Marquinhos has now amassed 38 major trophies throughout his career. This impressive tally places him among the most decorated players in modern football history. For context, Andrés Iniesta has 39 trophies, Dani Alves holds 43, and Lionel Messi stands atop with 46. While Messi’s record remains a distant challenge, the gap is narrowing, with Marquinhos poised to surpass Iniesta soon.
This consistent success is not a result of club-hopping but a testament to Marquinhos’ dedication to one project, building his legacy season after season.
Unmatched success at Paris Saint-Germain
Within PSG, Marquinhos is unparalleled. His trophy cabinet includes ten Ligue 1 titles, eight French Cups, six League Cups, nine Trophée des Champions, and notably, the club’s first Champions League title in 2025. The recent Intercontinental Cup only adds to his storied career.
No other player has embodied PSG’s success as deeply as Marquinhos. With over 500 appearances and more than a decade as captain, his influence spans generations of players.
A legendary trajectory
The 2024-2025 season will be remembered as a pivotal moment in Marquinhos’ career. Securing seven trophies in less than a year, he has dominated both domestically and on the European stage. As he prepares for the Trophée des Champions against OM in Kuwait, a 39th title is within reach. Each victory is a step closer to cementing his place in global football history.
Marquinhos is no longer just a PSG icon; he is emerging as one of the most decorated players ever. His career, marked by loyalty, longevity, and leadership, stands in stark contrast to the fragmented careers of many of his peers. And with the way things are going, he shows no signs of stopping.
