Lionel Messi’s winner against Lyon on Sunday saw him jump ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo for the most non-penalty goals by a single player in football history.
The PSG player's goal after five minutes means he has now netted 672 non-penalty goals in total, one ahead of Ronaldo who has played 145 more matches. The Portugal captain opened his account for the season on Thursday, firing home a spot kick in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League.
After being benched for most of the campaign, it was Ronaldo’s first strike in three starts and nine outings altogether. Messi has found the net six times in 11 appearances this season, having started each one.
