    For me the most impressive thing about this record is that by having scored 300 goals, he’s already outscored a lot of great strikers I’ve seen when I was younger like Trezeguet, Luca Toni, Inzaghi, Torres…

    Scoring 300 goals and winning a world cup and multiple league titles is already an amazing career by most standards, but he’s not 25 yet and hopefully has plenty more years.

      The stat also include goals with the national team so in theory he still hasn’t surpassed them, but he will obviusly do it soon

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Now show which leagues they played in. Reaching 300 goals in the Premiere League or Laliga at 27 is always gonna be more impressive than doing it at 24 in the French league.
