The fierce competition between two global football stars, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, continues. Messi has now surpassed Ronaldo as the footballer with the most Guinness World Records (GWR) titles.

"@GWR's Twitter account stated on Tuesday (August 1, 2023), 'Lionel Messi holds 41 @GWR titles, while Cristiano Ronaldo has 40.'

According to the *Daily Mail*, Messi earned his latest GWR title after scoring two goals for Inter Miami in a match against Atlanta United at DRV PNK Stadium, USA, on Wednesday (July 26, 2023).

Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup match 4-0. Messi, starting the game, scored two goals in the 8th and 22nd minutes, followed by two more goals from Inter Miami's Robert Taylor.
