Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, both hailed as football legends, maintain an enduring rivalry that captivates fans worldwide, as reported by Essentially Sports.
In a recent Inter Miami vs New England Revolution match, Messi showcased his prowess by scoring two goals and achieving a remarkable milestone of 1,200 goal assists.
This feat not only secured a 4-1 victory for his team but also saw Messi surpassing a record once held by Ronaldo during his Real Madrid tenure.
Messi’s exceptional performance earned him the Major League Soccer (MLS) Player of the Match award, marking his second such accolade and placing him alongside former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez.
Furthermore, Messi’s presence in the United States contributed to setting a new attendance record at the prestigious Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.
Professor David Mosse, in an interview with Alexi Lalas, recounted an incident comparing Messi’s impact on Inter Miami to the effect Ronaldo had at Real Madrid, illustrating the immense influence both players exert on their respective teams.
