In just seven appearances in the Club World Cup, Messi has netted six goals, tying him with Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale in the all-time scoring charts. He stands just one goal shy of equaling Cristiano Ronaldo`s record of seven goals in eight matches, a feat that includes memorable performances for both Manchester United and Real Madrid. At 37, Messi remains a pivotal figure for Inter Miami, boasting 16 goals and six assists in 22 appearances this season.
As anticipation builds for the upcoming clash against Palmeiras, Messi`s potential to match Ronaldo`s record adds an electric atmosphere to the tournament. While rumors swirl about a possible transfer to Arsenal, Messi`s commitment to Inter Miami appears steadfast, especially as he nears a contract extension until December 2026. His recent achievement of becoming the highest goal scorer in FIFA tournaments with 25 goals only adds to his legendary status.
