Argentina was victorious in Qatar thanks in large part to Messi, who, it is believed, made his final appearance at the World Cup in Qatar and his spectacular career.

The career high point for Messi was this. Because of this accomplishment, many consider him to be on par with the late Pele and Diego Maradona in the pantheon of all-time greats. We hear you asking, “But what is the “Triple Crown” club.”

The lone Englishman on the list thus far, Sir Bobby Charlton won Kaka the European Cup with Manchester United two years after winning the World Cup and Ballon d’Or in the same year (1966).

Franz Beckenbauer, one of the best German football players ever, if not the best, is the only player on this list outside Messi to have won the Ballon d’Or more than once.
