No matter what the official stats say, Pelé still considers himself the all-time top scorer. Last week, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo officially overtook the Brazilian by scoring his 758th career goal (official club and national team matches), overtaking Pelé and his 757 units.
Only here, the Brazilian, who now loses a place in this ranking (4th), does not really agree with these figures. If some statisticians grant him 767 goals, the former Santos player claims to have scored no less than 1,283 goals during his career.
In order to get the message across, the Brazilian recently changed the biography of his official accounts on social networks, changing his “757” to “all-time top scorer (1,283)”.
Seeing the many reactions of Internet users, Pelé added a layer, claiming that his biography has always been the same since his arrival on social networks. “The press accused me of having changed the biography of my Instagram, to eclipse these big stars who beat my records. The text of the bio has always been the same since I entered the platform. None of this should distract us from their incredible achievements, ”said the Brazilian.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the only active players with a chance to shake up the hierarchy of the ranking of the best scorers in history:
1. Josef Bican, 805 buts
2. Romario, 772 buts
3. Cristiano Ronaldo, 758 buts
4. Skin, 757 buts
5. Ferenc Puskas, 746 buts
6. Gerd Müller, 735 buts
7. Lionel Messi, 715 buts
