In the realm of football, Lionel Messi continues to make headlines even beyond the zenith of his career. Despite no longer being at the pinnacle of his profession, Messi’s goal-scoring prowess remains undiminished, cementing his status as a pivotal figure for both his national team and club.
In a friendly match against Panama back in March 2023, Messi reached the monumental milestone of 800 career goals. Shortly thereafter, in his very first match in the United States, the Argentine legend netted a stunning free-kick. Fast forward to the present, and Messi’s tally stands at an impressive 821 goals.
However, his perennial rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, is also endeavoring to enhance his own records.
Messi Surpasses 800 Goals: Messi reached the landmark of 800 goals after successfully converting a free-kick in a friendly match against Panama. Shortly after, he surpassed the 100-goal mark for his national team. Presently, he has amassed a total of 103 goals for Argentina.
Wearing the colors of his club, Messi has consistently found the back of the net for Inter Miami since his move to the United States.
