Pele won x3 world cups. He scored 5 goals in a semi finals and finals of his World Cup at the age of 16 was the best player and top goal scorer for his third World Cup too. He has scored 655 competitive goals in only 700 games! Over a thousand competitive and noncompetitive goals. And if you’re counting goal of the century as significant you better believe I’m counting Pele who was named PLAYER of the CENTURY. Also France Football reevaluated every ballon d’Or considering everyone not just Europeans and said Pele would have won 7 golden balls.

If you wanna talk league competition let’s talk about Di Stefano. 5 European titles… in a row. 376 goals in 521 games. An insane 216 goals in 282 games for Real Madrid. 49 goals in 58 games in the European cup. These records lasted the century. He scored in ALL FIVE European Cup Finals, once getting a hat trick. He only played 6 games for Argentina and won them the Copa America. He won two balon D’ors, the first and only Super Balon D’Or and is El Classico’s All Time scorer. He had this insane goal production while playing alongside Puskas a goal scoring machine who would demand the ball just as much. Pele, Platini and more have referred to him as the greatest player ever tanking 4th in the century list. He’s the most complete player ever known for his pressing and at time dropping all the way into defense to win the ball, link play, and score.

Then there’s CR7… the clutchest goal scorer ever. No one steps up for bigger games than him. Whether that be hattys in the CL knockout stages against Bayern or Atletico. Or it’s him scoring 14 goals in 9 games to win the league. Ronaldo might be the greatest athlete to grace the sport but lemme tell you something… he used to be an even better athlete. Pre broken leg at Man United the man was quicker, faster, could jump higher, and WAY shiftier. This was prone dribbling Ronaldo with a wide range of skill and two right feet that made him out most Brazilians to shame. One of the greatest air threats ever between flying volleys and power headers. Greatest 6 yard finisher ever.
