In the ongoing debate over who is the greatest football player of all time, Lionel Messi has emerged as the leader in terms of Guinness World Records.
With an impressive 42 titles to his name, Messi surpasses his rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who holds 40 records.
Messi’s dominance is evident in his club career, particularly at Barcelona, where he has broken numerous La Liga records, including the most goals scored in a La Liga career (474) and the most hat-tricks (36).
While Ronaldo has excelled in the UEFA Champions League, setting records for the most goals (140) and assists (42), Messi’s all-round accomplishments in both domestic and international competitions put him ahead.
Additionally, both players have made a significant impact on social media and have achieved financial success off the pitch.
However, the debate between Messi and Ronaldo is far from settled, as new talents like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, and Jesse Lingard are poised to challenge their records in the future.
