Can Cristiano Ronaldo Still Catch Up With Lionel Messi's Trophy Cabinet? by Streetmovement(m): 9:42am On May 03, 2022
Cristiano Ronaldo has been invincible this season but has failed to win a Silverware with Manchester United. The Portuguese winger's return to the English club has made him lose the chance of catching up with Gerard Pique and Kenny Dalgish trophy records. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the eight player with the most career trophy while his Arch rival Lionel Messi who just won the Ligue-1 title this season is ranked second on the list.


Can the Portuguese winger be able to catch up with the Argentine forward in the top 9 list before he retires? The answer depends on many factors. Lionel Messi is currently in a team who are favourites to win the Coupe Des France and Ligue-1 title next season. While Manchester united are still not favourites to win 2022/23 Premier league, FA Cup or League cup. There are many premier league club who are in-form more than the red devils. Clubs like Manchester city, Liverpool and Chelsea will be there next season to ensure that the Portuguese winger's team remain Trophyless next season.


The only hope Manchester has of winning silverware is if they compete in the Europa conference league. It will be very difficult for Ronaldo to win more trophies than Messi, considering the fact that his team will commence it's rebuild this summer, which will take time for them to be able to compete for titles. The trophy gap between Messi and Ronaldo could further extend if the Argentine wins two trophies next season. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently 37 years old and might not be able to continue playing when he clocks 40 years old.



Lionel Messi has more years to play football which gives him an edge over the Portuguese winger who is currently five trophies behind him. In conclusion, it will be virtually impossible for Ronaldo to catch up with Messi even if he joins Bayern Munich, Manchester city or Liverpool.

check out the list of top 9 players with most trophy below to see ratings.

1. Dani Alves- 43

2. Lionel Messi- 39

3. Maxwell- 37

4. Andres Iniesta- 37

5. Ryan Giggs- 36

6. Kenny Dalgish- 35

7. Gerard Pique- 35

8. Cristiano Ronaldo- 34

9. Victor Baia- 34

What do y'all think? Football fans.

Yes no doubts but If you gonna talk about personal achievements, let me list it out for you

Main award for best player in the world- Messi has more

Other awards for best player in the world- Messi has more

Best player in the continent- Messi has more

Best player in his country's award- Messi has more

Player of the tournament award- Messi has more

Top Goals scorer award- Messi has more

Best young player award- Messi has more

Best veteran player- Cristiano Ronaldo

IFFHS awards- Messi has more

Best goal award- Drawn

Best decisive passer/assistant in history- Messi

And Cristiano has played more games than Messi but if you check out Messi's stats you will give honour to whom honour is due, I respect Ronaldo in the game of football but you can't just stop loving Messi.... he's phenomenal because he makes football look easy.

And If you choose to doubt the data up there you can check for yourself, it's all love bro

How sure are you ?

The question is are you very very sure that Ronaldo can keep up the same energy at 40?

Be true to yourself

It's the end of a beautiful era for both regardless but considering their age difference I think Messi still has a little time left than Ronaldo, morever they're not gonna play for forever. cool

these guys too funny, a simple yes or no question, u don rush shift table because e no favor ur man...so na goal record naim make cr7 ur goat abi??
do u know ali del before cr7 broke his goal record?? have u heard of gerd muller or biecan before cr7 n messi broke dier goals records?
have u heard those names before in the goat aguements??
cr7 can easily be the best goal scorer or a goal machine but messi would be placed above wen he retires because he also scored goals, gave assists n won more individual awards along with trophies

even cr7 knows he can't meet up, same way he gave up on finishing ahead of messi in the ballon d or race after messi won his 7th.
cr7 is now more about scoring goals than winning trophies bcoz he us tired of playing catch up to a GOAT dt he started 2 years earlier than....
the question u suppose to ask Is that, can messi finish as the player with most trophies won??
alves is very close n still in barca but messi have said that he gat dt record on his plan...let's wait n see
messi winning the copa and his 7th ballon ended the GOAT aguement, but for messi to finish with most trophies won would make so many haters wish dey never started dt messi vs cr7 comparison..

They are even counting Olympics and junior world cup
Olympics should not count , its a junior trophy
Junior world cup is a junior trophy
Messi dint contribute to barcas 2005 and 2006 league title, infact his debut game in 2005 came after they had confirmed the league title, he missed almost the whole of 2006 thru injury, so also missed the champions league games leading to their victory, he missed the super cup victories and kings cup ( present copa de rey)... the difference between messi and Ronaldo's trophy cabinet is that every single one Ronaldo won, he was the most influential and effective player in that squad... messi early career trophies was due to being a squad member ... only intelligent people can understand this but unfortunately, Messi fans are dull

Messi dint debut In 2004... he first played in 04/ 05 season but his first game came in a 3.1 win over mallorca or celta vigo i think... been a long time but I watched the game live back then ... his first game came after barca had sealed the 04/05 league title .... then Argentina invited him for the junior world cup that summer... he was on the bench during the beginning of the tournament, then progressed to the starting line up after the first 2 games I think ... all these things I am saying is not Google search , I watched live on TV

I think you the dull one here for not recognizing that in football every award matters to every player be it the smallest or the biggest, Messi didn't contribute to Barca's early success, I agree with you but as of today who's the most decorated Barcelona player? and if Messi was a just a squad member as you claim why does he keep getting the accolades? When you done answering this then you can talk to me who deserves what and who doesn't deserve that.....only intelligent people can understand this but unfortunately you are not intelligent as you claim to be with your write up.
