Lionel Messi has created history by becoming only the second men’s footballer to score 900 goals in official matches. He reached the landmark yesterday during Inter Miami CF’s 1-1 draw against Nashville SC in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in Florida.
Messi’s milestone strike came in a tightly contested encounter, as Inter Miami secured progression on aggregate despite the draw. The Argentine legend and Inter Miami captain joined his rival Cristiano Ronaldo as the only men’s players to reach 900 goals.
The Portugal legend and Al-Nassr skipper Ronaldo achieved this historic feat in September 2024. Currently, Ronaldo has 965 goals and has made it clear he wants to reach the historic landmark of 1,000 goals before retiring. Messi, on the other hand, took 1,142 games to get to 900, while Ronaldo needed 1,236 matches to reach the mark. Brazilian legend Pele occupies third place on the all-time scoring charts with 765 goals.
