One of the hardest things to do in football is score goals, but certain players have mastered it through time. With a ton of goals to their names, those players have established themselves.
A few players have distinguished themselves as outstanding goal scorers since the start of the twenty-first century. The top 10 goal scorers of the twenty-first century are listed below:
Cristiano Ronaldo is first with 815 goals.
After breaking Josef Bican's record, Cristiano Ronaldo is now regarded as the best goal scorer in history. With 117 of his total career goals scored in international play, the Portuguese great holds the record for most goals scored in international play.
With a total of 815 goals to his credit during his career and a few more seasons left at the top level, the Manchester United forward still has time to surpass the 900-goal plateau before calling it quits.
7.69 goals scored by Lionel Messi
Possibly the best football player to ever play the game was Lionel Messi. The Argentine superstar is capable of both setting up and scoring goals. He has contributed to more than 1000 goals throughout his career, and he now has 769 goals.
3. Robert Lewandowski - 601 goals
4. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 572 goals
5. Luis Suarez - 521 goals
6. David Villa - 438 goals
7. Edinson Cavani - 430 goals
8. Sergio Aguero - 429 goals
9. Karim Benzema - 426 goals
10. Samuel Eto'o - 424 goals
Karim Benzema had a strong 2021/22 season, and his goal-scoring prowess propelled him into the top ten list of goalscorers in the twenty-first century.
As Real Madrid fights to hang onto their Champions League and Spanish La Liga championships, the Real Madrid player would be trying to top David Villa's total next season.

Chelsea might regret not signing Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United has been up in the air due to rumors that he would leave the team. Numerous elite teams, including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Roma, have been connected with the Manchester United star. It was reported that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly met with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, to discuss the player.
Due to a variety of factors, it has been suggested that Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy at Manchester United. Fabrizio Romano, a football journalist, claims that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is instead concentrating on bringing in defenders rather than Cristiano Ronaldo. Since Romelu Lukaku is now on loan at Inter Milan, Chelsea lacks a top striker and will need to sign one this season. At Chelsea, Cristiano Ronaldo will excel and be able to fill Romelu Lukaku's shoes. If Ronaldo is acquired by the Club, it will also aid in bolstering Chelsea's offensive capabilities.
Chelsea may look back on their decision not to sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer with regret. It will necessitate Chelsea's playing without any star forwards in the upcoming campaign. The club's ability to contend for both the Premier league and the Champions league will be aided by Cristiano Ronaldo. The purchase of a forward like Cristiano Ronaldo will be an excellent place to start for Chelsea if they want to be a trophy contender next season. The Club, however, might come to regret their choice the next season if they fail to sign the star.
