This week Lionel Messi scored and broke another record.
His goal against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday meant he has scored against more Champions League rivals than any other player, taking his number of victims to 34.
Not too long ago, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 700th career goal and then also edged to one goal from a
century of international strikes.
The only man ahead of the Portuguese is Iranian Ali Daei on 109.
With just 11 more goals to get, you can bet your house on CR706 breaking that.
At this stage of their careers, Messi and Ronaldo are
rewriting history with basically every act on the pitch.
Messi has scored an average of 51 club goals since 2010, while Ronaldo isn’t far behind his great rival.
