After defeating Real Madrid and being crowned 2025–26 LaLiga champions, Barcelona added another trophy to their cabinet. This marks the club’s seventh title since Lionel Messi’s departure in 2021.
The era of the Argentine No. 10 in Catalonia undeniably marked a before and after for the club. His unexpected departure to PSG set a precedent, and from that point on, Barca slowly began to rebuild.
While these seven titles won in recent years stand on their own merit, the reality is that they have all come in domestic competitions. Barcelona’s major unfinished business since Messi’s departure has been winning the Champions League, as their last triumph in the competition came in the 2014–15 season.
Barcelona’s post-Messi titles
3 LaLiga titles, 3 Spanish Super Cups, and 1 Copa del Rey. These are the trophies Barcelona have won since 2021, when Lionel Messi left the club to take the next step in his career.
