Europe Goal-scoring record: Messi overtakes Ronaldo

Lionel Messi on Saturday opened the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain against Nice in Ligue 1.

This was the Argentine’s 702nd club goal in Europe and he is now the leading goalscorer in European club football, going past his long-time rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s tally of 701 goals.

The PSG talisman achieved the feat playing 105 fewer matches than Al-Nassr captain, Ronaldo.
