Messi threatens Ronaldo's record.

Lionel Messi is closing in on Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time FIFA Club World Cup goalscoring record, making the race between these two football legends even more dramatic.

Lionel Messi's brilliance was a crucial factor in Inter Miami's journey at the Club World Cup.

Currently, Ronaldo still leads the scoring charts with 7 goals in his appearances at the Club World Cup with Manchester United and Real Madrid. However, Messi is just one goal away from equaling CR7's record.

Messi has just increased his total number of goals at the FIFA Club World Cup™ 2025 to six, after scoring a stunning free-kick into the top corner of the net in Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Porto.

Previously, he scored 5 goals in 5 appearances in this competition while playing for Barcelona. With his latest goal, Messi equaled the record of 6 goals set by two former Real Madrid stars, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.

He only needs one more goal to equal Ronaldo's record. If Leo scores two more goals, he will surpass CR7 to take sole possession of the top spot.

Inter Miami will return to their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign with a home match against Palmeiras of Brazil on the morning of June 24th at Hard Rock Stadium. A win or even just a draw against Palmeiras will secure Inter Miami a place in the Round of 16.

Even if they lose, Inter Miami still have a chance to advance if Al Ahly fail to beat Porto in their simultaneous match, and the home team maintain a better goal difference. In that case, they would become the first MLS team to reach the knockout stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Messi scores a wonder goal at the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early hours of June 20th, Messi shone brightly, helping Inter Miami defeat Porto 2-1 in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
