TOP FIVE HIGHEST GOALSCORERS OF ALL TIME

There are many football players in the world, but a few of them break incredible records. In this article, I have discussed 5 names who scored the most goals in the world and wrote their names in history.

5. Pele

757 goals in 831 games – 1957-1977

One of the greatest ever and a three-time World Cup winner.

Pele scored nearly a goal-per-game during his 656 competitive games for Santos, though claims to have scored more than 1,000 times in his career.

4. Romario

772 goals 994 games – 1985-2007

Romario lead Brazil to World Cup glory in 1994, scoring five goals in the tournament.

He enjoyed a stellar career at a number of top clubs around the world.

3. Lionel Messi

785 goals in 993 games – 2003-present

Now with PSG, the Argentine has a few years left to add to his remarkable tally.

2. Josef Bican

805+ goals in 530+ games – 1931-1956

Scoring 395 in 217 games for Slavia Prague, Bican had claimed the honour of being football’s leading goalscorer of all-time for over 60 years.

But he has now finally been trumped.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

818 goals in 1,132 games – 2001-present

A modern great for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and now the Red Devils again.

Ronaldo has won everything in the game and is still going strong today, and has now added the biggest record yet to his historic career by overtaking Bican.

Ronaldo’s goal record now stands at an insane 818 goals following his most recent strike against Sheriff Tiraspol – his 701st club goal – and he is not done yet.
