The player that previously held this record was Lionel Messi who was 25 when he scored his 300th goal, i genuinely think if mbappe doesn’t end up as a top 5 player ever it would be a shame

    I don’t think Mbappe or Haaland will be held in the same regard as Messi and Ronaldo. Brilliant as they are, they lack that - idk, creativity? Magic? Ability to absolutely wow you? They’re elite at what they do but we know what they’re going to do and they do it. Messi and Ronaldo were bewitching.

      i believe it is because defenders have gotten so much better, and pressure tactics are so optimised, that being a ‘magical’ player is far harder. teams nowadays crave possession and players are instructed to pass more than take on 1v1s
