Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and more: These are the only five active players who scored more than 500 goals

Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? Yes, perhaps you have a firm answer if anybody asks who your favorite soccer player is from those two. But now, we will have a look at not two, but five stars. Why? Because they are the only five soccer players who are still active and have scored 500 goals or over that mark.

First is the youngest one in the list: Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan ace has revived his career after his humiliating exit from Barcelona, almost sacked by the coach Ronald Koeman, who told him he would not consider him in this season. He has just reached 501 goals last weekend.

Robert Lewandowski has arrived to 532 following his brace against Al-Ahly in the FIFA Club World Cup for Bayern Munich. He will want to increase his figure on Thursday playing the Final match against Liga MX’s giants Tigres.

Opening the podium’s door, we will find Zlatan Ibrahimovic, having reached 568 goals. The Swedish legend is firmly active and in great form on his way to turn no less than 40 years old. After returning to AC Milan coming from MLS, he has established himself as one of the Serie A kings, and his club is back fighting for important titles like the local Scudetto. Yes, he deserves his spot here, as 90min given him in this ranking.

It’s not easy to track numbers when a player like Lionel Messi scores so many goals. The Argentinian legend is currently sitting on 722 goals in his only two teams he played for in his life: Barcelona and Argentina’s national team. He counts 651 for the club, and 71 more defending his homeland’s shirt. What else can we say that nobody said before about him? Yes, nothing.
