Soccer: Messi scores 900th career goal, joins Ronaldo in elite club
Lionel Messi achieved a remarkable milestone, scoring his 900th career goal. This places him second only to Cristiano Ronaldo in elite men's football history. Messi's goal came in Inter Miami's CONCACAF Champions Cup match. The Argentine star's incredible tally spans 21 years since his first senior goal for Barcelona.
Lionel Messi scored his 900th career goal on Wednesday to become the second player to reach the mark in elite men's football after Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 38-year-old Argentine World Cup winner brought up the milestone with a left-footed strike in Inter Miami's 1-1 draw with Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The 900th goal came 21 years after Messi scored his first in senior football for Barcelona as a 17-year-old in 2005.
Inter manager Javier Mascherano said Messi's tally was "insane".
"I've been lucky enough to see most, or many, of the goals he's scored, much closer than you all, and that's a privilege," he added.
"The number we're talking about is insane, and that's why Leo is a one of a kind."
Messi, who has won the Ballon d'Or eight times, reached the landmark in his 1,142nd appearance for club and country, nearly 100 games fewer than Ronaldo, who took 1,236 games to reach the milestone in September 2024.
Portuguese forward Ronaldo has now reached 965 goals and has targeted the 1,000-mark before he quits the game.
The majority of Messi's goals came during his spell at Barcelona, where he scored 672 times. He added 32 at Paris St-Germain and 81 for Inter Miami and scored 115 for Argentina, with whom he won the World Cup in 2022.
Messi's teammates have been able to depend on him at crucial times with 175 of his goals coming in knockout matches, including 35 in finals.
His 129 goals in Europe's Champions League is second only to Ronaldo's 140.
Messi's milestone goal came on a bittersweet night for Miami, who exited the competition on away goals after the first leg of their tie ended 0-0.
