Ronaldo has to give a rueful thumbs up because Messi has gone ahead of him by one goal.
Messi’s penalty kick against Real Sociedad the other day took his goal tally to 438 goals in league competitions, one more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Thus he has regained the top spot as the all-time top scorer in the five major European leagues.
Ronaldo hasn’t been able to add to his tally for awhile because of games getting cancelled in Italy due to the coronavirus problem.
