Can Lionel Messi break another Cristiano Ronaldo goal record? History within reach for Inter Miami’s Argentine GOAT at FIFA Club World Cup
WHAT HAPPENED?
Lionel Messi, the Argentine GOAT (Greatest of All Time), has become accustomed to rewriting football record books throughout his illustrious career. A longstanding rivalry has been waged between Messi and Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the greatest player ever.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Cristiano Ronaldo currently holds the record as the all-time leading scorer in FIFA Club World Cup events. Across his appearances for Manchester United and Real Madrid, Ronaldo has scored seven goals in the competition. However, this record is now under threat from his eternal rival, Messi.
DID YOU KNOW?
Messi is closing in on Ronaldo’s record after increasing his tally to six goals. His most recent goal came during Inter Miami’s victory over Porto, where he scored a stunning free-kick curled into the top corner. Before this, Messi had scored five goals in as many Club World Cup appearances for Barcelona.
TELL ME MORE
Messi has now drawn level with former Real Madrid stars Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, who also have six Club World Cup goals each. Messi needs just one more goal to equal Ronaldo’s record and two to surpass it. Meanwhile, Luis Suarez has five goals in the competition and could also challenge for the top spot if he continues to perform well.
WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI?
Inter Miami will return to Club World Cup action on Monday, facing Palmeiras in their final group stage match at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. A positive result will see them progress to the last 16, providing Messi further opportunities to chase down Ronaldo’s record.
