The Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi rivalry seems far from over. The two players who delighted fans with their competition for the title of the world's best during their time in La Liga continue to be compared, even as both are now far from Europe's elite leagues.

A recent statistic gives CR7 an edge in this ongoing battle: the Al Nassr forward has scored more league goals than the Inter Miami player for the first time since the Argentine left Barcelona in 2021.

Ronaldo has netted 35 goals, while Messi has scored 34. Despite both global superstars being away from the spotlight, there is no doubt they will continue to make headlines for a long time.
