Inter Miami lost unexpectedly to the Seattle Sounders in the 2025 Leagues Cup final. Despite a strong team, Javier Mascherano’s players struggled throughout the match. The Sounders’ tight defense limited Lionel Messi’s impact. Even with this defeat, Messi maintains a significant lead over Cristiano Ronaldo in career titles.
Overall, Lionel Messi has achieved 46 career titles in his 20 years involved in soccer. Most of these were earned during his time at FC Barcelona. With these accomplishments, he is regarded as one of the key figures in soccer history.
On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has also made a mark in soccer but has fewer titles than Messi, totaling 36. While he is a significant force in today’s soccer scene, he does not have an official competition title with Al Nassr. His win in the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup does not count as an official title.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi aim for a common goal this season
Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, while playing in different leagues, share a common goal with their teams. Messi has won two titles with Inter Miami, but he is still pursuing an MLS Cup. Similarly, Ronaldo is striving to win his first Saudi Pro League title with Al Nassr.
