Barcelona star has won 10 LaLiga titles and four Champions Leagues with Catalan side in two deces he has been with club. Messi, a six-time Ballon d'Or winner, is only two goals away from surpassing Brazil legend Pele's incredible record of 643 goals for a single club. Messi has won a total of 34 trophies and is only one behind Dani Alves on list of most major trophies won by currently active players. 

Argentine's place in  Ballon d’Or Dream Team was quite simply a -brainer given his incredible trophy haul and records. Messi is Barcelona's all-time top goalscorer and has won seven Pichichi trophies -  annual award given to La Liga's top scorer in a season.
