Lionel Messi, the greatest footballer of all time, has definitively settled the discussion by surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo in Guinness World Records titles.
Guinness World Records’ official Twitter handle presented the new table of “Most Guinness World Records Titles Achieved By Footballers,” and Messi now stands tall with an astonishing 41 records, outshining his rival Ronaldo, who possesses 40 records.
The news of Messi’s incredible performance spread like wildfire, igniting celebrations among football fans all across the world.
Messi’s incredible performances on and off the field have firmly established him as an all-time great in the beautiful game.
Messi’s most recent record came during Inter Miami’s amazing 4-0 League Cup triumph over Atlanta United, where he demonstrated his prowess by scoring two spectacular goals.
Notably, the second goal from that match has gone down in history as the most-watched live event in American history, with 3.4 billion views online.
One of the most important records Messi owns is the most goals scored in a calendar year. The Argentine maestro awed fans and opponents alike when he scored an incredible 86 goals in 2012, a performance that seemed very hard to match.
The top five footballers in the Guinness World Records table currently include Robert Lewandowski (9 records), Kylian Mbappe (5 records), and Neymar (4 records), but Messi remains unrivaled at the apex.
