He has won the Ballon d'Or seven times. How much more Lionel Messi has achieved for Barcelona or Argentina. In addition to scoring the most goals for Argentina, he holds the record for most goals scored in a World Cup qualifier in Latin America. This time he lost the Latin record. But he may be happy. Because my best friend Luis Suarez took it from Messi!

It was a matter of time before the record went to Suarez. Suarez had entered the same bracket with Messi after scoring a goal against Paraguay in the previous match of the World Cup qualifiers. Uruguay beat Venezuela 4-1 in a World Cup qualifier tomorrow. The Uruguayan star surpassed Messi by scoring a goal in this match.

Messi has scored 26 goals in 57 appearances in the Latin American qualifiers. Suarez sat next to him in a match against Paraguay. Suarez scored a record 28th goal in his 70th match against Venezuela, beating Messi.

All in all, everyone can be curious about who has scored the most goals in the World Cup qualifiers. The name of the record holder and his country is a little unknown. At least in the world of football. Guatemala's Carlos Ruiz tops the list with 39 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo is next to Luiz. He scored 37 goals in the European World Cup qualifiers. The next two names are Asia. Ali Daiya of Iran is in third place with 34 goals from one country. Fourth is Poland's Bayern star, Robert Lewandowski. Another fifth Iranian star is Karim Bagheri. He scored 26 goals. Tomorrow Suarez is sitting next to him. Messi's position consecutively.

Suarez is fourth in the Latin American qualifiers with 22 points after the victory over Venezuela. Uruguay will still have to fight to secure the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Chile is at number 6 with 2 points less than Peru. As a result, a lot will depend on the match between these two teams with Uruguay. After two matches, Suarez will go to the World Cup only if he can hold the fourth position like now.
