On the evening of May 27, PSG drew 1-1 with Strasbourg in the match of round 37 of Ligue 1. This result was enough to help the Paris team win the tournament one round early. Currently, they have 85 points, 4 points more than the second-ranked team, Lens.
With this championship, PSG has surpassed St. Etienne to become the team with the most Ligue 1 championships in history with 11 times. Although this season, PSG played unconvincingly, they also became the first club in Ligue 1 history to win the top position from the first round to the last round.
Not only that, Messi also made history after scoring the only goal for PSG in the match against Strasbourg. Specifically, the Argentine superstar surpassed C. Ronaldo to become the player with the most goals in the top 5 European national championships (England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain).
Up to this point, Messi has scored 496 goals, one more than C. Ronaldo. In his career, El Pulga has scored 474 goals for Barcelona in La Liga and 22 goals for PSG in Ligue 1.
In the context that C. Ronaldo has gone to Asia to play and left top football, it is likely that Messi will continue to increase this record.
In addition, by winning Ligue 1, the Argentine superstar has surpassed Dani Alves to become the person with the most collective titles with 43 times. Specifically, Messi has won 10 La Liga, 7 Spanish King's Cups, 8 Spanish Super Cups, 4 Champions Leagues, 3 FIFA Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 Ligue 1s, 1 French Super Cup, 1 Copa America, 1 World Cup, 1 Intercontinental Cup, 1 U20 World Cup, 1 Olympic gold medal.
It is worth mentioning that Dani Alves is currently in prison, so he has no chance of breaking Messi's record. However, it is likely that El Pulga will leave PSG after this season when his contract expires. People are waiting to see which club the number 30 superstar will play for next.
