Argentina national team captain Lionel Messi opportunity to establish superiority Cristiano Ronaldo if playing against Indonesian National team.

Messi has a series of special records in international matches, it is not impossible that the former Barcelona player will add other scores in the next match with Team Tango.

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has stated that the Albiceleste squad will face China and Indonesia in the FIFA Matchday match in June 2023. In this way, Messi can also change the statistical records against the Red and White Team.

Messi currently loses out in international goals to Ronaldo, but there are other records to suggest otherwise.

From 174 times playing at international level, Messi scored 102 goals. While Ronaldo’s productivity is marked by the number of 122 goals. Nevertheless, Messi has recorded more assists than Ronaldo on the international stage with a total of 53 to 33.

In the category of international friendlies, Messi has scored more goals than Ronaldo. So far Messi has scored 48 goals and 17 assists from 53 matches international friendly. Meanwhile, Ronaldo has a record of 20 goals and nine assists from 52 international friendlies.

If Messi appears and is able to score a mature pass which results in a goal in the match against Indonesia, it is certain that his number of international assists will be even stronger than Ronaldo.

Likewise, if Messi played and then scored against Indonesia, then the number of goals in his international friendlies would keep Ronaldo away.

Meanwhile, if Messi can score a hat-trick against Indonesia, then the number of hat-tricks will be 10 and equal Ronaldo.
