By regular anime standards, students tend to surpass their teachers. Considering the fact that Sakura is one of the main characters, and was, for a long time, a possible love interest for the titular character, you can assume that in some sense, she has surpassed Tsunade. Tsunade is probably my favorite female character (technically Sarada took that place, but excluding her, it would be Tsunade). And I think Sakura is about as useful to the series as Hercule was during the Cell Games. But I still firmly believe, regardless of explicit statements, that Sakura does surpass Tsunade.
