Paris Saint-Germain's Lionel Messi has a never-ending love affair with records. The Argentina skipper, who won the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last year has continued to perform for Paris Saint-Germain and it doesn't look as if he is going to stop anytime soon. After winning the World Cup, many believe that Messi has surpassed his arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo and has cemented his legacy as the GOAT, but he is still carrying on and has now become only the second player after Cristiano Ronaldo to score a total of 700 club goals. Portuguese skipper Cristiano Ronaldo with 701 club goals ended his association with European football and is now playing for Al-Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia. Interestingly, if Messi scores two more goals, he will surpass Ronaldo with the most goals in the history of European club football.
