He has the fitness and pace of play to keep him going for another couple of years, so he could reach 1,000 goals in that time.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically speaking, Messi usually scores 100 goals every two years. That&#8217;s why he could extend his career until 2028 to reach his goal.<\/p>\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 965 goals and could reach that record before Messi, but there is also a risk of not achieving it. It seems unlikely that the 41-year-old will want to continue on the pitch after the World Cup. Especially since he&#8217;s already starting to suffer from injuries that he hasn&#8217;t had throughout his career.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Nashville, 100 Historic Cities<\/h2>\n<p>MLS club Nashville SC can boast that it is part of the prestigious role of Messi&#8217;s &#8220;Century&#8221; team. Being included in the list of Argentinian record-breakers is a privilege to be proud of as a rival.<\/p>\n<p>Dynamo Kiev &#8211; 100 Real Madrid &#8211; 200 Rayo Vallecano &#8211; 300 Granada &#8211; 400 Valencia &#8211; 500 Atletico Madrid &#8211; 600 Atletico Madrid &#8211; 700 Panama &#8211; 800 Nashville SC &#8211; 900<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">The goal is 124 games.<\/h2>\n<p>Based on his last 100 games, Messi averages 0.80 goals per game. If we take this percentage as a starting point to reach 1,000 goals, the Argentine would need to play 124 games. If he scores multiple goals in multiple matches, this number of matches may be reduced.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2026\/03\/19\/69bc03dc268e3edb388b45c5.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IThe great milestone of 1,000 goals seemed to belong to Cristiano Ronaldo alone.
