#3 Goals scored in different FIFA Club World Cups
Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have the distinction of scoring goals in 3 different FIFA Club World Cups, the only players to do so till now. While the Portuguese scored in 2008, 2016 and 2017 tournaments, the Argentinean scored in the 2009, 2011 and 2015 FIFA Club World Cups. Ronaldo also appeared in the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup, but did not find the back of the net.
Messi scored a total of 5 goals in FIFA Club World Cup, two in 2009, two in 2011 and one in 2015. Ronaldo has 7 goals in the tournament, one in 2008, four in 2016 and two in 2017. However, none of them will be competing this year. Real Madrid will be a part of the tournament this year too, but Ronaldo has shifted base to Turin in the summer and as such will play no part in their campaign.
As such, both Superstars will be vying to win the Champions League this season and will be aiming to appear in the FIFA Club World Cup again next year. They both have a record to break after all.
