Messi Picks Up MLS Award And Hits 890 Goals Quicker Than CR7 by geoworldedu(op): 6:43am On Oct 27, 2025
So sweet. Messi is a football god. He can do what no one can do.

Lionel Messi has once again written his name in the history of world football.

After all, the "Goat" reached 890 career goals this Friday (24th), by opening the scoring for Inter Miami against Nashville in the opening match of the MLS 2025/26 playoffs.

Thus, at 38 years and 122 days old, Messi surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo as the "youngest" to reach 890 career goals, since the Portuguese star reached the milestone at 39 years and 89 days old.

Moreover, the Argentine genius needed "only" 1,131 matches to reach 890 goals, while CR7 played 1,220 games.

The question is who watch MLS games? I don't even know which TVstatio shows them.

Both Messi and Ro era is gone so doing comparison is just a blatant waste of time.

I haven’t missed Messi’s match all these times at Miami. Messi currently extended his contract by 3 years. Meaning that I will get to see him play for another three years.

You can watch on appletv or use rbtv or afr.livesports088

Re: Messi Picks Up MLS Award And Hits 890 Goals Quicker Than CR7 by DesChyko: 11:27am On Oct 27, 2025
Okay.

Ronaldo is the youngest to reach 891 goals. Make another headline with it after Messi's next game.
Re: Messi Picks Up MLS Award And Hits 890 Goals Quicker Than CR7 by TheWebbers(m): 11:28am On Oct 27, 2025
Messi will never become the highest goal scorer for country

Messi will never become the highest goal scorer in the Champions League

Messi will never score one thousand goals

All these unnecessary comparisons between the 2 GOATS undecided

Why can't we all just appreciate their brillance now they are still playing and stop all these comparisons, it makes no sense undecided

If Messi wanted to globe trot he would have done that very easily.

One marked difference is that Messi never tried to prove any point to no one but Ronaldo played his entire career trying to prove a point.

Messi could have played for Barca, Chelsea, Bayern, Inter, PSG if he wanted to.

This one no follow,what kind of record is this,probably we should check at what age did both start football before saying he achieved the record at a younger age.....but I am sure messi may never get the number of carrier goals CR7 has before messi retires.

Ronaldo get luck say Messi no too send money. If Messi decide say na money him dey find, even Dangote’s position is at risk on the rich list.
Re: Messi Picks Up MLS Award And Hits 890 Goals Quicker Than CR7 by Ezyp(m): 1:01pm On Oct 27, 2025
Ronaldo reached 950 goals. No one compared him to anyone or Messi's name wasn't mentioned. It was pure celebration with Ronaldo.

But Messi managed to reach 890 in an amateur league where no one cares... Boom they compared him to Ronaldo.

This says a lot who the real Goat is.
