Messi leads the scorer list with 18 goals! Two big data surpasses Ronaldo! The battle for the historical scorer king is ignited again

Messi and Ronaldo, the "old two-pronged sensational" in football, have competed with each other for many years. Every goal and every change in their data will cause a huge wave among the fans. Now, the two have reached the end of their careers. One is in the US League for retirement and the other is in the Saudi League with the first annual salary for football. Although they are far from the top league, they are still making new history and competing for the throne of the historical shooter king.

In the short-term American League, Miami International defeated New York Red Bull 5-1 at home. The 38-year-old Messi broke out again, giving assists and indirect assists all the games, and scored twice in the second half, directly leading the scorer list with 18 goals, which also allowed the May Football King to officially surpass Ronaldo in two key data.

After Messi scored twice in five consecutive games, he briefly lost his temper when facing Cincinnati. Then, facing New York Red Bull, Messi quickly regained his form and gave another 2 goals and 1 assist. In the first half, he first gave Suarez an accurate assist, and then instigated an indirect assist with his personal restraint. In the second half, Busquets and Suarez, the former Barcelona players, once again "feeded the cake", and Messi easily pushed the ball and scored twice. With 6 double hits in 7 games, Messi is currently ranked first in the MFA scorer list with 18 goals, far ahead of his competitors.

Non-penalty goals, Messi has completed a historic overtake

So far, Messi has scored a total of 874 goals in his career, of which only 110 of them are from penalties, which means he has scored a total of 764 "non-penalty goals". Although Ronaldo scored 938 goals in total, as many as 175 of them came from penalty kicks, and his non-penalty goals were 763 goals. In other words, Messi has become the player with the most non-penalty goals in the history of world football!

leads the number of goals in natural year in 2025. Messi is in a state better than Ronaldo. After entering 2025, Messi is still in a hot state. So far, he has scored 24 goals, leading Ronaldo again with 22 goals, ranking among the top of the natural year scorer list that year. At the assist level, 8 assists were sent in 29 games and completed 5 all-round performances of "passing and shooting". In contrast, Ronaldo played 41 games in the 2024-25 season. Although he scored 22 goals, his overall efficiency declined significantly, with only 4 assists, and only 4 passes and shots. Although it is still the core of Saudi Arabia's forward line, it is indeed much inferior to Messi's all-round performance. There is really still suspense in the battle between the Sagittarius King?

Ronaldo still maintains the world football goal record with 938 goals. However, Messi has now reached 874 goals, only 64 goals away. Considering Messi's continued efficiency and age advantage, the strength of the US League is relatively moderate, he has two top "feeding players", Busquets and Suarez. In addition, Miami International is moving forward steadily in multi-line battles. If Messi maintains health and condition, catch up with or even overtakes Ronaldo, it is not an unreachable dream. You should know that Messi averaged nearly 1 goal this season. Even if he is conservatively estimated, he will be able to cross the "938" barrier and become the number one scorer in football history even if he has a conservative estimate.

Once this goal is achieved, it will be the most perfect summary of Messi's player career. Winning the World Cup, the Americas Cup, the Champions League, La Liga, the American League, the Golden Ball Award, etc. If you win the golden sign "Historical Scorer King" again, it will undoubtedly put a perfect end to this Argentine legend.
