The 37-year-old has sent goalscoring records tumbling throughout his trophy-laden career, as the top marksman in the history of both Real Madrid and the Portugal national team.
However, his hat trick in Manchester United's dramatic 3-2 Premier League win over Tottenham on March 12, 2022 set a new benchmark of personal excellence for Ronaldo.
A first hat trick since returning to United in the summer of 2021 lifted Ronaldo up to 807 career goals with numerous outlets crowning him as the highest-ever goal scorer in the history of men's football, as recognized by FIFA.
Sporting News reached out to FIFA to confirm the list, but the world governing body said it does not keep an official list of the statistics of the goals scored by individual players. That hasn't stopped other outlets, including TalkSport and SI.com, from listing the following top 10 "FIFA-recognized goals" totals:
Ranking | Player | Goals |
1. | Cristiano Ronaldo | 816 |
2. | Josef Bican | 805 |
3. | Lionel Messi | 780 |
4. | Romario | 772 |
5. | Pele | 757 |
6. | Ferenc Puskas | 746 |
7. | Gerd Muller | 734 |
8. | Ferenc Deak | 576 |
9. | Uwe Seeler | 575 |
Tulio Maravilha | 575 |
Lionel Messi is the only other active player on this list.
