The Messi vs Ronaldo debate is one that may not end any time soon.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently scored two brilliant strikes for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr during a game against Al Akhdoud.
The ex-Juventus star found the back of the net twice in three minutes, with the second a wonder goal - lobbing the goalkeeper from well over 40 yards out.
Ronaldo’s goes clear of Messi on goal record
Since swapping Manchester United for Al Nassr, Ronaldo has continued to break more and more goalscoring records.
The latest strike for Al Nassr takes the Portuguese captain up to 61 goal contributions in 2023: 48 goals and 13 assists.
Also, Cristiano Ronaldo (517 goals) surpassed the record for the most goals in top-flight league football history previously held by Ferenc Puskas and Josef Bican (515 goals each)
With Ronaldo's record, his greatest rival, Lionel Messi, would need to score 20 goals to catch up with the Portuguese star.
