Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, two of the greatest footballers of all time, are still going strong in their late careers. Messi recently led Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup, but Ronaldo continues to stake his claim as the best in the world with his impressive goal-scoring record.
Ronaldo now sits atop the all-time scoring table, having surpassed Austria-Czech legend Josef Bican. Messi has moved into third place, ahead of Romario, Ferenc Puskas, and Pele, but Ronaldo remains at the summit.
Other notable players on the list of the top ten highest goalscorers of all time include:
* Gerd Muller (734 goals in 793 games)
* Ferenc Puskas (746+ goals in 754+ games)
* Pele (757 goals in 831 games)
* Romario (772 goals in 994 games)
* Josef Bican (805+ goals in 530+ games)
These players have all left an indelible mark on the game of football and will forever be remembered for their incredible goal-scoring feats. It remains to be seen whether Messi can catch Ronaldo at the top of the all-time scoring table, but it is sure to be a thrilling race to watch.
