Before Messi came to Barcelona, they definitely weren't the club that they are now. In this entry, I'll concentrate on what they've won since Messi came to the club, and how they were before he came. Without further ado, let's dive into the topic.
Before Messi's debut, Barcelona only had 1 UCL, won in the 1991/92 season. But then, in Messi's second professional season, they won their second UCL, then a third in 2008/09, a fourth in 2010/11, and a fifth in 2014/15, with Messi being the main man in the last 3 and an important piece in the first one. This is definitely the most notable difference from Barcelona before and after Messi came. And continuing with the UCLs, they won their first 3 Club World Cups with Messi, as well as 3/5 of their UEFA Super Cups.
Domestically, they had 16 La Liga titles before Messi came, and they now have 26, another massive increase caused by Messi as well. Their Copa del Rey cabinet went from 24 to 30 trophies, and they doubled their Supercopa de España tally from 8 to 16.
Overall, Barcelona had 62 trophies before Messi came, without having won one since 1999, but when Messi came in the 2004/05 season, they started winning trophies again, and now have 96 trophies. So in conclusion, since Messi came to Barcelona, they have gotten exponentially better since.
