UEFA recently declared that Lionel Messi has won three UEFA Champions League trophies in his career, which surprised fans on Twitter as they believe he should be credited with four UCL wins.
UEFA claimed that Messi won the trophy in the 2008-09, 2010-11, and 2014-15 seasons with Barcelona. While he was a regular for the team during the 2005-06 campaign, Messi wasn't part of the squad that defeated Arsenal by a score of 2-1 in the final.
Messi made six appearances in the Champions League that season, scoring one goal and giving two assists. However, he didn't feature in the competition after the Round of 16 due to injury.
Fans were left in disbelief after the revelation by European football's governing body. One of them wrote on Twitter:
"UEFA will you be amending this?"
Another claimed:
"Wow that is crazy."
Lionel Messi possesses a stellar record in the UEFA Champions League, having scored 129 goals in the competition, the second-most after Cristiano Ronaldo.

If we use the same logic Pele also won only 2 WCs as he played only 2 matches and scored only one goal in his second world cup campaign in 1962 because of injury. Messi's haters can stop it.

If we use the same logic Ronaldo didn’t win Euro 2016 as he was injured and didn’t play the final

When we were saying Messi has only three UCL, babies were insulting and arguing. Do you know that at every stage of the UCL teams register players to participate? How can someone who left in group stage and his club didn't register him for the other stages win the competition?

1. From supporting Ronaldo against Messi (2007-2018) 2. To supporting Van Djke against Messi (2019) 3. To supporting Lewandowski (2021) against Messi 4. To supporting Mbappe against Messi (2022 world cup trophy and golden ball and FIFA the Best) 5. To now supporting Erling Haaland against Lionel Messi (2023) Ronaldo fans are funny 😂😂 Messi always comes on top
