Seemingly, there’s not a game that goes by without Lionel Messi matching or breaking yet another record, and, in his first game back for Paris Saint-Germain after winning World Cup 2022, the Argentine has already equalled a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Argentinian superstar scored the second for PSG in his side’s 2-0 win over Angers on Wednesday night, January 11.
Ronaldo has a two-year deal with the Saudi Arabian side and currently leads Messi by five on 701 total club goals having scored five for Sporting Lisbon at the start of his career.
All of Messi’s have been scored for Barcelona and PSG, in 778 appearances for the Catalan side. It means he’s reached the 696 total in 86 fewer games than his rival.
Ronaldo scored 118 for Man United in his first stint at the club, 450 at Real Madrid, 101 at Juventus, and another 27 goals at Old Trafford before his ugly exit.
