      I can’t find it now but wasn’t it mbappe who had a kit made celebrating a goal milestone that included goals at practice? I swear that happened and I can’t find it. Feel i am going crazy.

    He’s not even a pure striker like some others on this list. Messi scoring that many as a winger for most of his career is insane.

    Fucking absurd that Messi had 300 goals by the age of 25 while playing in La Liga which was the #1 league for the majority of his career while legendary strikers like Ibrahimovic scored 300 by the age of 31

    What’s nuts is that there were already “is Messi the best player of all time” shouts when he was mbappe’s current age.

      God it’s kind of irritating how u guys constantly mention Messi with any other player. Like it’s established he’s the best ever, there’s no need to constantly compare

    Mbappe did have some luck in terms of not suffering any injuries that could have hampered him reaching this milestone as fast as he did.

    I recall Messi suffering from muscle injuries at the start as he was breaking out, which really sorta prevented him from having a consistent run of games.

    Unlike Mbappe, Ronaldo had a much steeper learning curve before he really established himself and was regarded as star player. In that aspect, when mbappe, broke out he was regarded as one of the top talents to ever play.

    I’m surprised Messi was #2. His first few seasons he was not a big goal scorer, it took him until year 4 before he started really banging them in.

    Spent all of his career so far in a 2 bob league, if he wants to be truly considered anything close to goat he needs to push himself beyond playing against Brest.

    Wow… Mbappe is almost 25 now. There was a time when it felt like he was 19 for a long time.

    Surprised that Zlatan was 31 when he hit 300 goals.
