Cristiano Ronaldo hits 950 goals: how far ahead is he of Lionel Messi? | OneFootball

Lionel Messi had just scored a brace against Nashville in the MLS Playoffs, putting pressure on Cristiano Ronaldo in the famous race to reach 1,000 goals as professional footballers. But the Portuguese star had a trick up his sleeve.

The Portuguese star, after his compatriot João Félix put his team 1-0 ahead against Al-Hazm as visitors, took it upon himself to increase the score just minutes before the referee blew the final whistle for matchday 6 of the Saudi Pro League.

With this victory, Al-Nassr reached 18 points, maintaining a perfect record and pulling three points ahead of Al-Taawon, whose main star is Roger Martínez and who is the only runner-up. But by reaching 950 goals, “El Bicho” is now very close to achieving an unparalleled record, in addition to continuing to write golden pages in the sport he still practices at 40 years old.

How many goals do Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have?

The truth is that the Portuguese star has had a brilliant career, leaving a great mark on every team he has represented, not only through titles but mainly through numerous goals that allow him to stand out to this day. Now, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 950 goals and is only 50 away from reaching a never-before-achieved milestone: 1,000 goals.

On the other hand, the Argentine star dazzled everyone at Barcelona, but also at Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami, and with the Argentina National Team. With those four jerseys, Lionel Messi has scored 891 goals and is 58 goals behind his eternal football rival. As for the milestone that no player has yet achieved, the world champion is 109 goals away.
