Mar 11, Andrew Cesare Richardson. Only Czechoslovakian star Josef Bican, who hit goals in matches between and , has now scored more career goals than Ronaldo. After news spread of Ronaldo's achievement, it was widely reported — including by Insider — that Pele had updated his Instagram biography to claim that he is actually the sport's all-time record scorer by more than goals. In his biography page on the platform, the year-old claims he scored 1, goals during his career — far more than the total he is widely credited with.
Pele has since denied suggestions he changed his Instagram biography , saying that it has been the same since he joined the platform. Last week, Pele's former club Santos denied Lionel Messi had broken another record once held by Pele.
Just prior to Christmas, Messi scored the th goal of his FC Barcelona career in a win over Real Valladolid to break the record for the most ever goals scored for a single club. After Messi's th goal, however, Santos released a lengthy statement to instead insist the Brazilian actually scored 1, goals for them during his year career at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, if you count games like friendlies, exhibitions, and pre-season matches.
The numbers are absolute. A goal against Eibar is worth the same, statistically, than the one scored against Valencia. Alongside his official goals for Santos, Pele scored 77 goals for the Brazilian national team, and 37 while playing for the New York Cosmos at the end of his career, finishing his career with goals.
Adding the goals Santos say count to his total goal tally leaves Pele with 1, goals, 78 short of the the 1, mentioned on Instagram. While he seemingly won't accept that he's no longer the top dog when it comes to goals, Pele himself did however congratulate Messi on his scoring achievement, saying on Instagram: "Congratulations on your historic record, Lionel.
