This is a small primary-source sample, not career penalty/free-kick or finishing totals. “Other” means a verified goal that is neither an in-match penalty nor a direct free kick; it can still follow an assisted set piece. Unclassified goals remain unknown. Goal minutes are regulation minute plus added-time component; match playing minutes are a different field.

Messi overtaken by Neuer in Champions League appearances
UEFA lists Neuer on 164 main-competition appearances, ahead of Messi’s 163; Ronaldo remains top on 183.
Our take: In our matching main-competition archive, Messi averages 0.79 goals per appearance and Ronaldo 0.77. That scoring comparison uses the same eligible matches for each player’s goals and appearances, and answers a different question from the appearance ranking.

Ronaldo announces Portugal farewell after November break
Sky News reports Ronaldo plans to leave Portugal duty after November’s international break, ending his national-team career.
Our take: Our ledger currently has Ronaldo on 146 Portugal goals, compared with Messi’s 126 for Argentina: a gap of 20. Any further eligible international goal before the farewell would also count towards Ronaldo’s 15-goal shortfall in the Race to 1,000.
