Lionel Messi broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal record as PSG sealed their 11th Ligue 1 title.
Messi scored his 496th goal in Europe’s top five leagues, surpassing Ronaldo’s previous record of 495 goals.
He utilized Kylian Mbappé’s cross perfectly to score, giving PSG a 1-0 lead in the 59th minute against Strasbourg.
Though Kevin Gameiro equalized twenty minutes later to end the game in a draw, PSG still went home with the league title.
PSG also overtook Saint-Etienne’s haul of 10 Ligue 1 trophies to claim the outright record.
The victory also made it the first time PSG will stay at the top of the table from the first round of matches until the last, a run that stretches back to the third round of the 2021/22 season and 73 consecutive matches.
The cohesion between Messi and PSG is coming after the star player was suspended for traveling without the club’s permission.
Lionel Messi’s representatives have said that the rumors claiming that he will join a club in Saudi Arabia after his contract with PSG ends on June 30 are not true.
The PSG also failed to make it to the Champions League after their loss to Bayern Munich in the last 16.
