The Blaugrana’s captain has accumulated 31 trophies, nudging just one shy of the club’s top two record holders, Lionel Messi and Andrés Iniesta, who stand at 32 apiece in the all-time tally.

Lionel Messi, at 35, and Andrés Iniesta, at 32, sit atop Barcelona’s history books as the players with the most silverware. The Argentine icon added a new trophy this season by lifting the 2021 Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao at La Cartuja, cementing his enduring legacy with the club.

Sergio Busquets trails closely, sitting one title behind the leaders. In the 2022-2023 season he joined the elite by winning the 2023 Spanish Super Cup, underscoring his status as a central figure in Barcelona’s trophy cabinet over many campaigns.

These names are celebrated as the greatest culés in Barcelona’s history for their collective contribution to the club’s trophy haul and enduring success.
