As per International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS), Ronaldo is the top scorer in football history.

Argentine legend and Ronaldo's long-time rival Lionel Messi is second with 838 goals.

Ronaldo leads Messi 131-109 in international goals for their nations.

In the UEFA Champions League, Ronaldo (140) has 11 more goals than Messi (129). This stat is unlikely to change, with both now playing outside Europe.

In La Liga, the two are again first and second. But here, Messi has a whopping 474 goals, while Ronaldo has 311.

With Ronaldo having revealed his goal of 1,000 goals, it will be interesting to see who retires with more goals.
