Here I give you a different perspective to look into the list of top 10 active goal scorers in International football. It's according to the goals to matches played ratio. Chek. Out the list and find out where famous Messi and Ronaldo are placed:
1. Ali Mabkhout (UAE)
UAE captain Ali Mabkhout scores in a very rapid rate. UAE who is currently in 3rd stage of World cup Asian qualifiers, are hoping to go to World cup with the help of this scoring machine's brilliance. It looks he might go past Ali Dei and Cristiano Ronaldo in just 2/4 years.
Age 30
Matches 92
Goals 76
Goals per match 0.82
2. Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
Belgian stricker who plays for Inter Milan had a great season again. He also scored 4 goals in the EURO 2020. He is just 28, but strong, fast and accurate. He has got the potential to go past 100 goals for sure.
Age 28
Matches 98
Goals 64
Goals per match 0.65
3. Sunil Chhetri (India)
Brilliant Indian has been phenomenal even with a comparatively small side in asian football. He finds net often but his age would stop him from going higher in the most goals scored players list.
Age 36
Matches 118
Goals 74
Goals per match 0.62
4. Neymar Jr (Brazil)
Te Brazilian sensation is expected to break Pele's record before he turns 30. We need to wait and watch how high he climbs up in the list of top scorers of all time.
Age 29
Matches 110
Goals 68
Goals per match 0.61
5. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
Portugese Captain, considered to be one of the greatest of all time, has already reached the peak of list of history's highest scorers. 36 year is also currently top scorer in EURO 2020. But, we have to see how long he continues to play even though he is incredibly fit and keeps finding net.
Age 36
Matches 179
Goals 109
Goals per match 0.6
6.Robert Lewandowski (Poland)
This Polish goal machine keeps scoring for German club Bayern Munich at will, and he is keeping that form in his Nation's colors too. But I doubt if he can go past 100 goals mark.
Age 32
Matches 122
Goals 69
Goals per match 0.56
7. Louis Suarez (Uruguay)
We all know Suarez is highly talented in scoring goals, but he wasnt successful in the Copa America this year. This could be last tournament , may be last match of him for his national team.
Age 34
Matches 123
Goals 64
Goals per match 0.52
8. Lionel Messi (Argentina)
People may not like to see him at this position of list, but fact is Messi scores slower for his country than his club. But, he is currently top scorer in Copa America, hoping to win this time, third time luck in final.
Age 34
Matches 149
Goals 76
Goals per match 0.51
