      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.

    Mbappe did have some luck in terms of not suffering any injuries that could have hampered him reaching this milestone as fast as he did.

    I recall Messi suffering from muscle injuries at the start as he was breaking out, which really sorta prevented him from having a consistent run of games.

    Unlike Mbappe, Ronaldo had a much steeper learning curve before he really established himself and was regarded as star player. In that aspect, when mbappe, broke out he was regarded as one of the top talents to ever play.

    What’s nuts is that there were already “is Messi the best player of all time” shouts when he was mbappe’s current age.

      God it’s kind of irritating how u guys constantly mention Messi with any other player. Like it’s established he’s the best ever, there’s no need to constantly compare

      I can’t find it now but wasn’t it mbappe who had a kit made celebrating a goal milestone that included goals at practice? I swear that happened and I can’t find it. Feel i am going crazy.

      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)

      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

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

    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.

    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.
