The two biggest names in world football have both played more than 1000 games for club and country. After they both achieved this milestone, it opened up another opportunity for comparison of their achievements.
Ronaldo was the first to reach the 1000 milestone. He did that back in February, 2020. The game was against a Seria A club by the name SPAL. Ronaldo scored and his team won 2-1.
The “Little man” from Rosario Santa Fe played his 1000th game during the World cup in Qatar last year. Messi scored in his 1000th game just as Ronaldo did. He scored against Australia. His goal gave Argentina the lead against the Australians.
From their respective 1000 games, it is left for you to deduce who you think has the best record between the two greatest players.
