      Some people would do anything to put down his achievements. Was Messi’s competition this much stronger when they were putting 5 against every team in Liga ? Finishing 30 points clear of anybody but real.

      Ligue 1 teams are good and they know how to defend well. Mbappe would score as many goals in any other league.

    Fucking absurd that Messi had 300 goals by the age of 25 while playing in La Liga which was the #1 league for the majority of his career while legendary strikers like Ibrahimovic scored 300 by the age of 31

    He’s not even a pure striker like some others on this list. Messi scoring that many as a winger for most of his career is insane.

      The fact that he scored 25+ goals a season twice for both Everton and Inter and once for United, while still having respectable goalscoring numbers in his other seasons (he still managed to get 15 goals with Chelsea in 21/22, and that’s his worst season in years) probably helps

      Yeah his number of goals is quite impressive, he has over 80 for Belgium but also 290 with various clubs (90 with Everton, 80 with Inter etc)

      People have a lot of hate for him, but he’s been a very impactful player throughout his career.

    300 goals is mind boggling he is truly a historical player already. The only thing left to see from him is that successful transition in his game when he inevitably loses that edge of explosive pace he has. If he finds a way to still be equally as effective through the years he really has the potential to join that elusive table those two sit at. Long way to go for that though.

    I’m surprised Messi was #2. His first few seasons he was not a big goal scorer, it took him until year 4 before he started really banging them in.

    Playing at Barcelona > playing at PSG. Don’t really care for the [reasons].

    Spent all of his career so far in a 2 bob league, if he wants to be truly considered anything close to goat he needs to push himself beyond playing against Brest.

    Wow… Mbappe is almost 25 now. There was a time when it felt like he was 19 for a long time.

    Surprised that Zlatan was 31 when he hit 300 goals.
