Messi just takes top spot from his eternal rival, Ronaldo, thanks to him recording 113 more assists than his eternal rival.

The Argentine has reached 1106 goal contributions in just 978 games (1.13 goal or assist per game ratio), which is an insane tally.

Zlatan takes third and could yet reach 800 goal contibutions when he returns from injury later this season.

Suarez is in fourth, for now, but Lewandowski is almost certain to overtake him in the 2022/23 campaign.

Neymar, just 30 years old, is sixth with 655 goal contributions this century. Given how he’s been laying recently, he could go be well above 700 by the end of the season.

Benzema and Eto’o both make the top 10, while Rooney, Aguero and Ronaldo Nazario all make the top 20.
