Although he did not win the US Open Cup, Messi's stat that proves that he's above Cristiano

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have achieved very important things in today's sport. The Argentine soccer player has won many team and individual titles, the same case as Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he has shared the stage for a long time. Now, despite the fact that both are out of Europe and that Messi recently did not win the US Open Cup, where he could not play due to injury, there is an important stat with which Messi surpasses the Portuguese.

Despite losing the US Open Cup, the Leagues Cup allowed Lionel Messi to become one of the players with the best records of the moment. The Argentine soccer player was crowned in an important way and is the one who has won the most titles. This coronation on American soil allowed Messi to achieve the 44th title of his career and also distance himself from the Spanish Andrés Iniesta and the Brazilian Maxwell, who complete the podium with 37. Behind the aforementioned, appear Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo (36 ), Kenny Dalglish and Gerard Piqué (35), Vítor Baía (34) and Ángel Di María (34).

Lionel's record consists of 10 Spanish Leagues, eight Spanish Super Cups, seven Copas del Rey, four Champions Leagues, three European Super Cups and three Club World Cups. All of these conquests, a total of 34, have been achieved with the Barcelona shirt since 2005 until he said goodbye in mid-2021. To these we must add the two Ligue 1 achieved with PSG, the French Super Cup (2021 /22) and the Leagues Cup with Inter Miami.

When will Messi play again?

Messi's absence in the US Open Cup final has worried more than a few. The Argentine player became one of the soccer players who has missed the fewest finals. In fact, he had never missed a final due to injury. According to Gerardo Martino, we must be cautious with the player, and that he will surely be active again before the MLS regular season ends. However, Inter Miami's chances of qualifying for the playoffs are beginning to narrow.
