�New Delhi : Former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli gave his opinion on the greatest “GOAT” controversy of all time between Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine sensation Lionel Messi. As the rivalry between the two has been quite long over the past decade, fans and various football players have shared different opinions about who is better between Messi and Ronaldo. Piolo, who recently became the manager of Al-Nassr, chose the Portuguese star ahead of Messi. He backed his decision by claiming that Ronaldo has scored more goals than Messi. “I think Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi, he has scored more goals than games,” Pioli said, as quoted by Geo News. Recently, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo made history and became the first male football player to score 900 career goals.
He achieved the record-breaking feat during Portugal's UEFA Nations League match against Croatia. The Portuguese superstar etched his name in the record by scoring against Croatia in the 34th minute of the match. Nuno Mendes produced a brilliant cross which Ronaldo connected from very close range and headed it past Croatian goalkeeper Livakovic into the goal. The 39-year-old Ronaldo's goal helped Portugal double their lead and also win the match.
In total, Ronaldo has scored 901 goals in 1,238 appearances for club and country. The 39-year-old forward continues to break records on and off the field. The Portuguese goal-scoring machine achieved a remarkable feat after reaching the milestone of 1 billion social media followers across all platforms.
Ronaldo has 638 million followers on Instagram, 170 million on Facebook and 113 million on X. The Al-Nassr captain recently launched his YouTube channel and broke the record for the fastest 10 million subscribers. Ronaldo broke this record by unleashing Hamster Kombat. Hamster took seven days to touch the 10 million mark while Ronaldo achieved it within a day. Meanwhile, his arch-rival Messi has scored 840 goals in 1,071 appearances for club and country. He scored two goals in Inter Miami's 3-1 win over Philadelphia Union in MLS. (ANI)
