With an impressive record of 122 goals in 198 appearances, Ronaldo stands as a true football legend. Not only that, he also holds the all-time record for most career goals with 832 goals to his name.

Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning team, is one of the most talented football players in the world. With 99 goals in 173 matches, he is only one goal away from reaching the 100 goal milestone, a feat achieved by only two other players in history. In addition to his impressive performance on the international stage, Messi has recently scored his 800th career goal, making him only the second player in history to do so. As the second-highest goalscorer among active players in international football, it is clear that Messi’s impact on the sport is significant. Fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating his next goal, which could place him in the record books yet again.
Mokhtar Dahari of Malaysia was undoubtedly an exceptional goalscorer, racking up 89 goals in just 142 matches. This impressive feat earned him a spot as the fourth-best goalscorer on the list, leaving behind some of the footballing greats. However, he is not alone on this list. Indian captain Sunil Chhetri has shared the fifth spot alongside Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas with 84 goals. Chhetri continues to display his goal-scoring prowess and is ranked third among active goal scorers, behind only Ronaldo and Messi. Robert Lewandowski and Neymar also found their way onto the top 15 list, with 78 and 77 goals respectively.
