In the last two decades, two players have been showing us exceptional skills and abilities in football and they are Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In this article, we'll be talking about Lionel Messi and his contribution to football in terms of number of goals scored by him.

For more than 50 years now, the person with the highest goals scored in the history of football is Joseph Pepi, and the record has not been broken. He has a total of Eight hundred and five career goals.



Joseph Bican has four runner-ups out of which Cristiano Ronaldo is included, before Lionel Messi, Romaio with a total of seven hundred and seventy two (772) career goals, Pele with a total of seven hundred and sixty seven (767) goals in his career, Cristiano Ronaldo with a total of 755 career goals, and one other.


Lionel Messi, who is still an active Barcelona player has a total of 731 goals in his 923 matches which means he scores 0.79 goals per match.



Lionel Messi has been in Barcelona since he started football. He started football in 2003.

He score five (5) goals in ten matches while he was at Barcelona C. Six (6) goals in 22 matches in Barcelona B. Six hundred and thirty four goals (634) in 730 matches in Barcelona. Two goals in five appearances in Argentina U23, 70 goals in 138 appearances in Argentina, and 14 goals in 18 matches in Argentina U20.



I believe Cristiano Ronaldo might get to the highest goalscorer ever before Messi, but I think Messi may get there too and pass Ronaldo's record since the genius footballer is not showing any sign of relenting soon. What do you think?

Messi is the real G. O. A. T, the other one is ishi ewu

he would sure do it.. he was sent to this generation to break and reset all available records in his lane..
when he finally hangs his boot, he would leave the bar too high and too hard for any other mortal to reach messi's mark..

Rest assured he will

Messi is too much jare.. The guy's definitely using charm. Unbelievable passes who does that.. Crazy freekicks who does that... Giving opponents nutmegs of their lives who does that.. Giving nutmeg pass(assist) and so on.. Messi is just damn too crazy.. He doesn't play naturally.. My interest in football will surely reduce when says his final bye

when he goes more will rise.

Let us wait and see

cr7 and messi would surely beat and break that record bt the main issue is who would be the first to hangs his boot, and that's what would decide who would set a new record..

i doubt...messi n cr7 are aliens....dey av made the bar too high and even if another alien comesup, he would struggle to reach thier peak..
