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 scored the 1-0 against Al-Hazm as a visitor, took charge of increasing the score just minutes before the referee ended the match corresponding to the 6th round of the Saudi Pro League.

With this victory, Al-Nassr reached 18 points, maintaining a perfect score and gaining a three-point lead over Al-Taawon, which has Roger Martínez as its main figure and is the only runner-up. But by reaching 950 goals, the "Bicho" is very close to achieving an unparalleled record, in addition to continuing to write the golden pages of the sport, which he continues to practice at 40 years old.

How many goals do Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have

The truth is that the Portuguese star had a brilliant career, leaving a significant mark on each of the teams he represented, based on titles but mainly with 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 the never-before-achieved figure: 1,000 goals.

On the other hand, the Argentine star dazzled everyone in Barcelona, but also in Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Miami, and with the Argentine National Team. With those four jerseys, Lionel Messi has scored 891 goals and is 58 goals away from the tally of his eternal football rival. From the milestone not yet achieved by any player, the world champion is 109 goals away.
