Ronaldo Surpasses Messi in Unique Goals Tally: A Milestone in Football History.
In a historic turn of events, Cristiano Ronaldo has surpassed Lionel Messi in non-penalty goals for both club and country. This remarkable feat was achieved during Al-Nassr’s thrilling 2-1 victory over Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.
The iconic Portugal captain, fresh from his match-winning goal in the AFC Champions League Round of 16, wasted no time in making his mark, opening the scoring just 17 minutes into the game against Al-Fateh. Despite a spirited effort from Al-Fateh, including Salem Al Najdi’s equalizer 12 minutes later, it was Otavio’s 72nd-minute winner that secured all three points for the hosts.

This milestone puts him one step ahead of his long-standing rival Messi, who currently plays for MLS club Inter Miami.
