Lionel Messi surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo as all-time club goal leader in Europe, while Ronaldo now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al-Nassr. Messi continues to play in one of Europe’s top-5 leagues, Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain, and he scored his 702nd goal in Europe this Saturday following his stint at FC Barcelona before arriving at the French squad a couple of seasons ago. With this goal, Messi edges out Cristiano Ronaldo once again.
In addition to becoming the all-time club goal leader in Europe, Messi has also reached a milestone of 1,000 goal contributions, with 702 goals and 298 assists in European football.
The future of Lionel Messi remains uncertain as his contract with PSG is set to expire in a few months. Despite being 35 years old, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is still in great shape and may choose to continue playing in the highest level of competition. There has been much speculation about his next move, as he has yet to win a UEFA Champions League since leaving Camp Nou. With almost every possibility open to him, any team in the world would surely like to have him play for them if he chooses to.
