Leo Messi is getting further away from Cristiano Ronaldo,the Argentinian Mastermind broke yet another record last night and this one will never ever be matched by CR7.Did he somehow overtake Ronaldo on social media follower counts? Not even close he signed for a Saudi Arabian site and will make double the money Ronaldo makes it Al-Nassr then.
Nah this is actually important like football related if you know what I mean the number 10 was in Santiago Del Estero Argentina and up against him was the, first 11 of Poor Curacao although the game was a friendly Leo Messi and Company had bad intentions going into it and the final score line of 7-0 reflected it,but the record-breaking took place well before the final whistle in fact Leo Messi needed only 20ish minutes to Edge Cristiano Ronaldo, going into the game Messi had his eyes on his 100th International goal as he had set himself up perfectly a few days earlier by bagging his 99th with a trademark free-kick against Panama at that.So a goal would have taken Messi in into the three figures on International goals the very place where he would meet Iran's Ali dei and none other than his arch rival Messi tormented the Curacao defense to do so in the 20th minute and became the only player in history to have 100 International goals who also happens to be a World Cup winner.
Ronaldo fans might argue that the Portuguese is the only player to have more than 100 International goals while also being a Euro winner but Argentina is kinda not in Europe so Messi is not eligible what happened last night was troubling enough for CR7 but Messi went on to add insult to injury the best player of the World Cup wasn't done and set his eyes on another stat CR7 has bulked up over the years completing his hat trick just before the halftime whistle La Pulga got closer to Ronaldo when it comes to trebles and Messi could have scored four but when the referee gave a penalty kick to Argentina Messi chose to hand it to good friend Angel Di Maria so the crowd could cheer for him instead.
Only five hat tricks separate the two men as of today and the age difference they have might mean even more bad news for Ronaldo when it comes to International goals Ronaldo still has the edge over Messi with 20 goals his last two came against Luxembourg last week increasing his tally against the country to 11 and for those who didn't follow no that wasn't a friendly but you know it was against Luxembourg the nation that happens to be cr7's preferred rival to score against,the Portuguese has 11 goals against them second in his list comes Lithuania tied up with Sweden at 7goals but how do Curacao fare against Luxembourg you might ask and that would make Ronaldo even angrier as the tiny Dutch Caribbean island country sits at the 86th spot in FIFA's international team rankings a healthy six rows above Luxembourg.Leo Messi is having a crazy good season Once Again despite being closer to his 40s than his 30s now the Argentinian has bagged himself 34 goals and made 22 assists in total before the final whistle was blown yesterday people from all around the world rushed to social media to make comparisons between the two legends and the number of people who used Penaldo in his sentence was overwhelming.Don't get us even started about the number of people who are already asking for an eighth Ballon D’or the historic race between the two men continues and it's all good for the fans of the game but if Messi continues to Chip Away stats that are famously associated with Ronaldo the remaining few years of Messi's career might be agonizing for the Portuguese one thing's sure though we'll be here to follow it along that about does it for this episode.
Do you think Messi will overtake Ronaldo as the player with most International goals by the end of his career?Can the Argentinian really win another ballon D'or? be sure to let us know.
