Lionel Messi stands alone as the most decorated player in Barcelona history after Sunday’s Supercopa de Espana triumph.

New captain and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi celebrated his 33rd title as La Liga champions Barca edged Spanish rivals Sevilla 2-1 in Tangier.

Messi moved ahead of club great Andres Iniesta – the man he replaced as skipper following his transfer to Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe – for the most trophies at Camp Nou.
