Lionel Messi has broken yet another record and bypassed Cristiano Ronaldo in doing so as he takes the lead for total number of non-penalty goals scored in history.
The 35-year-old grabbed his sixth goal of the season with the winner for Paris Saint-Germain in their 1-0 victory over Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday to maintain his club’s place at the top of the table and open up a two point gap over Marseille.
His tidy finish after just five minutes of the contest meant that he has now scored 672 non-penalty goals during his professional career, overtaking Ronaldo’s previous record of 671 despite playing 150 fewer games than the 37-year-old.
