Messi and Ronaldo International Stats
All stats on this page will auto-update
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have both had impressive international careers for Argentina and Portugal respectively.
Messi is Argentina's all time top goalscorer with 104 goals in 176 caps, scoring 0.59 goals per game. He's also Argentina's all time top provider with 53 assists.
Likewise, Ronaldo is Portugal's all time leading goalscorer with an incredible 123 goals in 201 caps, scoring an average of 0.61 goals per game.
If we look at minutes played, Messi scores a goal every 140.7 minutes, whilst Ronaldo scores a goal every 129.4 minutes.
Factoring in assists, Messi directly contributes to a goal every 93.2 minutes for Argentina, with Ronaldo scoring or assisting every 102.0 minutes for Portugal.
Clearly, both players have contributed to their national teams significantly and prolifically, and have done so for over 15 years.
International Trophies
Cristiano Ronaldo has reached two major international finals with Portugal, both at the European Championships. His first, way back in 2004, saw his Portugal side stunned on home soil against pre-tournament outsiders Greece, who ran out 1-0 winners.
His second major final took place in Paris 12 years later, where this time the favoured team on home soil was the opposition: France. Unfortunately for Ronaldo, he suffered an injury after just eight minutes and eventually had to be substituted in the 25th minute. More fortunately though, after a tense goalless ninety minutes, Portugal's Eder struck the winning goal in extra-time from 25 yards. Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo were European champions for the first time.
In 2019, Portugal also won the very first edition of the UEFA Nations League, a brand new competition brought in to replace stale international friendlies. Ronaldo played no part in the four group stage matches, but when Portugal qualified for the semi-final stage, he came back with a bang, scoring a hat-trick to beat Switzerland 3-1 and put Portugal in the final. There they faced the Netherlands, with GonΓ§alo Guedes scoring the game's only goal.
Not a Euros or a World Cup, but a 2nd international trophy for Ronaldo in 4 years nonetheless.

π World Cup 2022 - 3-3 vs France (4-2 pens)
Messi's long awaited international triumph with the full senior Argentina team came at the 2021 Copa America, where his Argentina side beat favourites Brazil in the final at the Maracana. This ended Brazil's 46 year long ubeaten run in Copa America matches on home soil, and ended Argentina's 28 year major trophy drought! Messi also picked up the tournament's awards for Best Player and the Golden Boot.
In 2022, he then won the Finalissima aginst European champions Italy before finally getting his hands on the big one later that year! Messi scored 2 goals in the final as his Argentina side beat France on penalties after a 3-3 draw to lift the World Cup! Messi also picked up the Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player, as well as the Silver Boot for finishing as the 2nd top scorer.
Looking beyond Leo Messi's six major finals, he also competed in the 2008 Olympics, where an U23 Argentina side (plus three over age players) won every game en route to the Gold Medal.
In addition to this, Messi also won the FIFA U20 World Cup in 2005, scoring a Golden Boot winning 6 goals (including 2 in the final) along the way.
International Tournament Goals & Assists
Ronaldo made his major tournament debut on home soil at Euro 2004, in which he scored 2 goals and made it all the way to the final before a shock defeat to Greece. Messi debuted at the 2006 World Cup, where he scored 13 minutes into his first appearance; further goals scored at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups granted Messi the unique record of being the only player to score at a World Cup in his teens, twenties and thirties.

Cristiano Ronaldo clearly has the superior goalscoring stats in competitive internationals, but we must consider the level of opposition.
Level of Competitive Opposition
One reason for the contrast in friendly/competitive goals between the two is the type of opponents they typically face. In Europe, the qualification stage for the World Cup and European Championship is split into several groups, with each group featuring a couple of extremely lowly ranked teams, such as San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, etc.
In South America on the other hand, they don't have a qualification stage for the Copa America, and World Cup qualification features a single group in which you must play all of the continent's heavyweights. There are also no real easy contests in this group (in comparison to some of the European micro-nations), with even the lowest ranked side Bolivia being an infamously tough team to play away due to the unusually high altitude level.
As a result of these contrasting situations, Ronaldo has played many more competitive fixtures against lower ranked sides than Messi has. Cristiano has scored 28 of his competitve goals against sides ranked 100 or lower, whereas Messi has 0 goals against 100+ ranked sides having played just 2 competitive games against this level of opponent.
This accounts for the huge disparity in competitive goals between the two to some degree, but even if Messi did get the opportunity to play minnows in competitive games with the same regularity as European teams do, the numbers suggest Ronaldo would still have a fairly comfortable lead in terms of competitive goals.
