Venue, tournament stage and penalty exclusions are not complete historical filters yet. We do not silently treat unknown records as non-penalties or league matches. Inspect field coverage. Reviewed full senior-career aggregates, with a separate Champions League option, are available: penalties, source-defined free kicks and non-penalty goals. They are not inferred from these incomplete individual goal fields.

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.

Inter Miami confirms Messi’s selection for Matchday 34 after his goal and assist against New England.
Our take: Our 2026 MLS archive records 26 goals and 13 final-touch assists for Messi; that assist definition excludes the secondary credits MLS can award. Read the league’s recognition alongside the match archive, rather than treating all assist totals as interchangeable.

FIFPRO lists both forwards among its finalists; the men’s team will be revealed on 9 November.
Our take: Across FIFPRO’s stated performance window, our senior-goal ledger records 45 for Messi and 38 for Ronaldo. That dated comparison is more relevant here than today’s career totals, although goals alone do not decide a player-voted team.
