Well one might not know, what CR7 can bring out from his bag of surprises in the upcoming Euro 2020 in June. Whereas India’s very own Sunil Chhetri ranks just after Bashar Abdullah with 72 goals in 115 games at an average of 0.63. Lionel Messi has 71 goals in 142 games and currently ranks at the 12th position in this list.
As spoken about earlier, the likes of Lionel Messi, Zinedin Zidane, David Beckam, Ronaldinho etc might be the greatest names in club football, yet on the international stage they are far away from making it into the list of Top 10 Highest Goal scorers.
As strange as it may seem, but the truth still stands as the International stage still being much more difficult for even the top-rated players than the domestic footballing circuit. Do you agree upon the same?
