Mashable: 'Messi fans don't watch this.'

In September, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first footballer in the world to score 900 career goals. On October 3, the Al-Nassr star shared a video on his YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, celebrating the milestone.
In the video, Ronaldo was shown driving an animated car as he surpassed many footballers including Gonzalo Castro, Didier Drogba, and Robert Lewandowski among others. Lionel Messi, who is considered Ronaldo's biggest rival, is also shown driving a race car.

Towards the end of the video, when Ronaldo is passing Pele and Messi, the voiceover says, "He passes Pele they show respect to each other but wait his toughest opponent is here - Lionel Messi! And Cristiano pushes himself to the max and passes the Argentinian! Bye Messi, bye! Cristiano is over 900 and this is unreal. A thousand goals are within reach. Join us next time to witness together as he reaches the 1,000 goals mark."

Reacting to the video, one YouTuber user wrote, "Not missed a single video so far he is the goat." Another one commented, "Messi fans don't watch this." "Never thought I would see Messi on YouTube's channel," wrote a fan. Another one commented, "Ronaldo rocked... others shocked."

For the uninitiated, the Portuguese star scored his 900th career goal during Portugal's 2-1 victory over Croatia. Recently, he scored the winning goal during Al-Nassr's match against Al Rayyan.

On the other hand, Lionel Messi recently won his 46th career trophy as Inter Miami clinched the MLS Supporters' Sheild for the first time with victory over Columbus Crew.
