Lionel Messi has only won the Champions League three times, according to UEFA.

Barcelona won the Champions League in 1992, 2006, 2009, 2011, and 2015.

Lionel Messi won four Champions League medals after joining Barcelona in 2004.

However, UEFA does not consider the 2022 World Cup winner to be a four-time holder of Europe's top club trophy.

Lionel Messi was instrumental in Barcelona's Champions League triumphs in 2009, 2011, and 2015.

Because he was not part of Barcelona's squad in the 2006 final, UEFA declared that the Argentina international had only won three titles.

This UEFA statement has piqued the interest of many football enthusiasts.

According to the UEFA Champions League's official website, "Messi has won the Champions League three times in 2009, 2011, and 2015 (all with Barcelona).

"He was also a regular for the Spanish club when they won the trophy in 2006 but was not part of their squad for the final."
