Incredible, he played in the fourth division and he surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo

In addition to being incredible, the world of football can sometimes also be surprising. As for individual records, we can have unknown players surpassing big stars whether in goals, luxuries or even money. Recently, sports fans have been surprised by the case of Barnabás Varga, who surprisingly is the best scorer of 2023, equaling Erling Haaland's record and leaving behind none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.

So far this year, the Hungarian-born center forward has already scored 37 goals for club and national team. The statistics have been reflected through the ranking published just three days ago by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics, which reflects that the famous Norwegian striker and Varga himself have 37 goals, while Cristiano Ronaldo and the Argentine Germán Cano is positioned in second place with 36. The Hungarian forward's record is even higher than that of the Manchester City forward, because Varga needs 40 games to score 37 goals. Erling Haaland needed 46 to score the same amount, and Cristiano Ronaldo managed 36 in 40.

In 2010, Barnabás Varga was playing in his country's fourth division. His career has been constantly on the rise until he reached one of the best clubs in Hungary and became the “Pichichi” of the Hungarian league with 26 goals. In his current club, Ferencváros, he has 17 goals in 17 games, which suggests that 2023 is one of his best years. Last March he made his debut in the Hungarian national team and has already scored two goals in five appearances.

Cristiano Ronaldo played for Al Nassr

This Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo participated in Al Nassr's draw for the Saudi professional league. The Portuguese team won 2 to 0, however, they were tied in the final and lost the chance to climb to second place in the professional league of that country. Despite being surpassed by an unknown, Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the top scorer in football with 855 goals, and his pursuer is none other than Lionel Andrés Messi with a distant 819 goals.
