After last night’s goal against Lyon, Lionel Messi overtook Cristiano Ronaldo in an impressive ranking, informs us onzemondial.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo continue to panic statistics and records in the world of football. Last night Messi scored the only goal of the match between Lyon and PSG (0-1), the sixth of the season. A goal that is anything but anecdotal for the Argentine, as it allows him to overtake his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo, in a very particular ranking.
Indeed, “La Pulga” scored 672 goals in 985 career games, not counting penalties, against 671 goals in 1130 games with CR7. After overtaking even the Portuguese last week, becoming the player who has scored more teams in the Champions League (39 against 38), the “mano a mano” between the two men continues, who do not seem close to stop breaking records in respectively. 35 years for Messi and 37 years for Cristiano Ronaldo.
