Marca: Messi and Mbappe both scored 394 goals before the age of 27, while Ronaldo only scored 213 goals in the same period
According to "Marca", Messi and Mbappe both scored 394 goals before the age of 27, while Ronaldo only scored 213 goals during the same period.
Messi was the first to reach this milestone. In 2014, at the age of 27, he had scored 394 goals in 513 games, averaging 0.78 goals per game. In addition, he has won five Ballon d'Or awards and four Champions League titles. Eleven years later, Mbappe achieved the same feat. He has scored 394 goals in 530 games and has many more games to come. Until December 20, Mbappe still has 12 games to surpass the Argentine's record.
Today's football is developing at an unprecedented speed, which also encourages young talents to emerge early. A 16- or 17-year-old boy can play more than 100 games in the top league. The most obvious example is Yamal, who at the age of 18 has already participated in 130 professional games. However, only a handful of people are able to maintain high levels of performance over long periods of time.
So when someone equals Messi’s record, it’s not just about the number of goals scored, but also about continuity, soul and perseverance across eras. Similarly, Ronaldo only scored 213 goals at the age of 27, but as he grew older, his condition became more and more outstanding, and eventually became the player with the most goals in the history of professional football, scoring 946 goals in total.
C Ronaldo once said: "People, especially my family, always say: It's time to stop, you have done everything, why do you want to score 1,000 goals? But I don't think so. I feel that I can still contribute to the team and the national team, so why not continue?"
With his latest goal on behalf of the French team, Mbappe has scored in ten consecutive games, whether in Real Madrid or the national team. However, Mbappe still has a long way to go if he wants to break the highest record of consecutive goals.
This record is held by Messi, who scored in 21 consecutive games. Coincidentally, Mbappe also needs to score consecutive goals in the next 12 games to surpass the Argentine's record. As for Messi’s career total of 890 goals and 435 assists, it seems difficult to surpass it at present.
