Lionel Messi netted a goal against Real Sociedad and took the team to a 1-0 win in the La Liga tie. With this goal, he went on to topple Cristiano Ronaldo and now has occupied the number one spot in Europe’s five leagues which include La Liga, Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. If one has to go by the stats on Opta, Messi has now scored 438 goals in 474 appearances, whereas Ronaldo has a total of 437 from 66 fewer games. It would be interesting to see if Ronaldo scores a goal once again during Juventus vs Inter Milan which will be held tonight.
