Those Saudi league goals should count as 0.5
Football / Soccer / Calcio / Futebol / Fußball
40 goals in Saudi league gives you a throw-in in Europe.
yeah but thats in some 2nd division farmers league
My nephew has 63 goals within the last 13 months. Where is his article? Lol
good for him but 40 goals in the la liga is very different from 40 goals in the saudi league tbh
Piers Morgan is going to have an orgasm
He's got ninety-nine whip lashes but a bitch ain't one
Pretty embarrassing that he's only one ahead of Erling Haaland, despite playing in an objectively much worse league.
I don't think it's embarrassing
I'ts really not embarrassing at all considering his age. Must be incredibly embarrassing for players like Benzema, Neymar and Mane who are playing in the same league and getting outscored by Ronaldo. Messi is also playing in a much worse league.
I think anyone with any level of football knowledge would rather their team have Neymar than Ronaldo though.
For everyone shouting Saudi league Saudi league, he’s also joint top with Lukaku for most goals in Euro qualifiers. More than Mbappe, Haaland and Kane etc.
Stats in a league where the government controls half the clubs 💀
I'm not his biggest fan but he's obviously in good form at the moment.
What are you even trying to say lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty sure there is a 12 year old somewhere that had scored dubble that.
My mate has 47 goals in his Sunday league, why was there no post about that?
IFFHS only counts goals at top senior level
All goals at top senior level are counted: top national leagues plus Paulista and Carioca (NL), national cups (NC), official international club tournaments (ICC), official games between national teams (NT).
Wait, only Paulista and Carioca??? And not the other states leagues in Brazil?
provavelmente nao pq o nivel nao eh mt bom. eh meio tosco, pq o carioca tbm tem um nivel horrivel, similar ao gauchão por exemplo
Nah mate, this isn't even worth a whoosh.
He’s just answering a question brochacho
Does your mate get paid to play football or he pays to play?
Racking up useless goals in a dead league to remain relevant and Madrid fans are out here acting like it's impressive at all, even made a post in the Madrid subreddit which had the most embarrassing comments I have read in a while.
Not too long ago were they making fun of Pele for scoring in his backyard and look at them hyping up this statpadder now
Literally playing in front of crowds smaller than National League games
There must be a formula that applies appropriate weights to the quality of the league and his age to make this very impressive.
most unbiased sub
it’s been like this pretty much their entire careers….
a lot of hate on el comandante smh... he feeds off of this and it translates into copious amounts of SIIIUUUSSSS
can we see him do those siuuuus in world cup
and no stealing goals from teammates doesnt count
12 Penalties 😭
Clown detected.
Absolute animal
Who?
His lickspittle fans desperately trying to pretend that saying 'He's scoring most of his goals in a second rate league' is 'hate' and not an objectively true statement are delightfully delusional.
It is impressive to still be so prolific at his age, but anyone ignoring the context to fawn over him is embarrassing themselves.
Amazing stat considering he's playing in the great Saudi League and International matches vs Liechestein and Luxembourg
I like how everyone in this sub waited for his worst low of his career to shit on this guy and forgot the years he did this in europe.
Not the highest quality league but doing better there than anyone else
Nah, pretty sure there’s a dude in the English 7th tier that bagged 50+ this year.
Impressive. Saudi and Luxemburg isn’t for everyone
This is pretty damn impressive. The man's longevity is insane.
Before all of you stop barking about this being in the Saudi league, even Benzema and Neymar aren't putting up these numbers, Benzema is the current Ballon d'Or holder and Neymar was the best PSG player (arguably) before his injury.
Damn hate is just insane,
I don't see hate yet and quite a ways down the thread, but so many comments talking about hate, underappreciation, and talking about Messi.
Lowlifes eh
The reactions would be very much different if this was Messi in MLS
Would it? This sub hates MLS and won't miss any opportunity to bash it.
Why drag Messi? Ffs
