At the age of 39, the resilient Portuguese attacker now comfortably outshines his eternal rival Lionel Messi, who currently stands at 821 career goals. He also overtakes the legendary Austro-Czechoslovakian forward from Slavia Prague, Josef Bican, who scored 805 goals between the 1930s and 1950s.
CR7 is now just 125 goals away from becoming the first footballer in history to reach the 1000-goal mark in his career!
The revered Romario (772 goals) as well as the king Pelé and his 757 goals complete the Top 5, according to the ranking established by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS). This ranking takes into account official goals scored in national teams (across all age categories) and clubs.
It is important to note that these figures nonetheless spark discussions, as the two legendary Brazilians, Pelé and Romario, claim respectively 1283 and 1000 goals according to their own calculations, which are based notably on several unofficial matches.
Here are the top 10 goalscorers in the history of soccer:
