LIONEL MESSI

Messi absent from Argentina’s November squad

AFA’s official squad omits Messi after his international farewell; Argentina prepare for November friendlies.

Our take: Our ledger has Messi on 126 Argentina goals and Ronaldo on 146 for Portugal: a gap of 20, compared with 48 across their whole careers. Club goals can move the Race to 1,000, but they do not alter the international comparison. Messi’s Argentina goals → Ronaldo’s Portugal goals →Analysis uses records reviewed .

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Ronaldo keeps streak record as Kane’s run ends

UEFA confirms Kane did not score in Bayern’s win at Atlético, ending his run short of Ronaldo’s record.

Our take: Counting appearances in our archive, Ronaldo’s longest Champions League scoring run is 11 matches, compared with Messi’s 5. This counts successive appearances, so it should not be confused with goals in successive team fixtures or a single-season scoring record.
