Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated football for years.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated football for years, be it goalscoring or winning trophies with their respective clubs or national teams.

Both stars have demonstrated consistency over 20 years. Even if they are past their prime, they continue to be compared. Even if they are not playing in Europe, they are still creating and breaking records.

However, when it comes to a specific trophy, such as the FIFA Club World Cup, it raises questions about both players’ pedigree in this competition and the number of such trophies they have won.

Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Who has won more FIFA Club World Cup titles?

Every year, a team from Europe participated in the competition after winning the Champions League. However, ever since the revamp of the tournament, many European clubs now have a chance to participate in the event. In 2025, we saw 12 clubs feature in the competition.

However, Ronaldo didn’t participate in the 2025 Club World Cup after his team Al-Nassr failed to book a spot in the resurrected tournament.

Meanwhile, Messi featured in the 2025 Club World Cup after Inter Miami were given a chance to play. But his side only managed to reach the knockout stage and were eliminated by PSG in the round of 16.

But both stars have previously participated in the competition and won it several times. The majority of Messi’s Club World Cup trophies are in a Barcelona shirt, and the Argentine has lifted the title three times, in 2009, 2011 and 2015.

Has Ronaldo won more Club World Cups than Messi?

Ronaldo has participated in and won all four FIFA Club World Cup tournaments. In 2008, he made his debut with Manchester United, helping the Red Devils win the championship under Sir Alex Ferguson, which was his first-ever Club World Cup trophy.

He went on to win three more Club World Cups with Real Madrid, two under Zinedine Zidane and one under Carlo Ancelotti. Hence, Ronaldo leads in the Club World Cup trophies and leads the Argentine legend with one title.
