Lionel Messi can break THIS one record held by Cristiano Ronaldo & Pele at FIFA Club World Cup 2025

The Argentine star is representing Inter Miami at the tournament.

At the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Lionel Messi has the potential to surpass the record presently held by Pele and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Club World Cup has changed in a number of ways over the years. The Copa Libertadores champion and the UEFA Champions League winner faced battle in what was then known as the Intercontinental Cup. Lionel Messi, Pele, and Cristiano Ronaldo are just a few of the legendary players who have shaped this tournament’s history.

More teams joined near the end of the century as the tournament grew more inclusive over time. 32 teams from 20 different nations will play in the inaugural edition, enhancing its appeal on a worldwide scale.

In this reinvented global event, which is being hosted in the United States and organised by FIFA, Messi now has the opportunity to reach a historic milestone.

Lionel Messi is on track to break a record that is presently held by Pele and Cristiano Ronaldo

The Argentine legend, who is already one of the most prominent players in the league and is playing well for Inter Miami, is on track to break a record that is presently held by Pele and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Despite playing in separate formats, the Portuguese sensation and the Brazilian icon each have seven goals to lead the competition’s all-time scoring table.

Messi has a great chance to add another trophy to his illustrious career because the new format allows for at least three games each team and up to seven for the winners.

Messi is only two goals short of Ronaldo and Pele’s record going into the event, having already scored five Club World Cup goals. The former Barcelona and PSG forward has a good chance of accomplishing this goal because three group-stage games are assured.

Messi might complete the campaign with a noteworthy individual accomplishment, even though Inter Miami aren’t seen as a title contender.

Luis Suárez, a striker from Uruguay, also tied with Messi at the starting line with five goals in his Club World Cup career. Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid), Pedro (Flamengo), Salem Al-Dawsari (Al-Hilal), and Hussein El Shahat (Al Ahly) are in tight chase, each with four goals.
