yes

Best out-and-out striker ever, probably. Injuries meant that he didn't have the same longevity as Messi has had (and will have)

Of course not. That would be Zinedine Zidane.


Then Pele. (1300 fucking goals)

Then Diego Maradona (winning everything with mediocre teams.. lets see Messi play for Southamption or Atheltic Bilbao..)

Years Team Apps† (Gls)†
1956–1974 Santos 638 (619)
1975–1977 New York Cosmos[11] 56 (31)
Total 694 (650)
National team
1957–1971 Brazil 92 (77)

So 619 + 31 + 77 = 1300.

Good to know.

You know there was no offside rule back then, right ?

your argument against peles goal count totally contradicts the fact you worship messi for racking up huge goal counts playing vs farmers

choked in the wc final

not even top 5

by far

sure, the WC is a bigger spectacle

you can't possibly argue that the skill level is higher on WC than on CL

WC = teams that train and play for (relatively) few matches
CL = teams that train play together for the whole year on domestic and international tournaments

Not even a champions league semifinal.

Its something like 1282 FIFA accepted goals. The most in football history.

No offside rule.. so why didn't Pele's opponents score 1000+ goals?
