Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): According to the latest statistics as of April 6, 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of entering the legendary club of "thousand goals" with 967 official goals in club and national competitions; a record that no player in the history of modern football has achieved so far.
On the other hand, Lionel Messi, with 903 official goals, is still considered the closest pursuer of his long-time rival; a star who has maintained his distance in recent years by shining in club competitions and the Argentine national team, but needs to continue scoring goals to reach this historic record.
Football experts believe that Ronaldo's continued presence on the professional field and his pivotal role in his teams have increased the Portuguese superstar's chances of reaching the 1,000-goal mark. In contrast, Messi's age and different schedules may make it more difficult for him to reach this historic milestone.
However, the rivalry between the two legends remains one of the most fascinating stories in football history, and fans around the world are eager to see which one will reach this unattainable peak first.
