After his goal against Nice, the lesson of greatness from Lionel Messi to Cristiano

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo starred in the greatest sports rivalry in history. Innumerable individual prizes were distributed between the two and there was always a debate about who was the best, although it all ended after the 'Flea' won the World Cup. Now, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) gave a new lesson to the Portuguese, who now stands out in Saudi Arabia.

In the midst of criticism in France, the Rosario showed that he is still the best in the world. In PSG's last game against Nice, the captain of the Argentine team opened the account and surpassed a mark held by the former player of Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon, Real Madrid and Juventus, on the Old Continent.

It turns out that the Portuguese national team, who failed in the World Cup in Qatar, held first place as the player with the most goals scored in Europe. CR7 had 701 goals before accepting Al-Nassr's offer at the beginning of 2023. Now, the former FC Barcelona player surpassed another Cristiano Ronaldo mark, despite never playing as a center forward in his career.

How many goals does Lionel Messi have in the Old Continent?

After his goal against Nice, Lionel Messi reached 702 goals in Europe. The difference with Cristiano Ronaldo is abysmal, since the world champion reached that number in 105 fewer games. Thus, he extends his hegemony over the Portuguese striker, who never tires of scoring goals in a third-order league, while Leo focuses on continuing to compete in the elite until 2024.
