![[PopFoot] Players with the best ratio of goals + assists per match in the 21st century.](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/76265650-8307-4a3b-b651-5231057221ca.webp){kind=link}
I’d argue having a lower ratio is indeed better to determine the more rounded player
Kylian and Haaland might well break all time goalscoring record with the number of games increasing.
Hope so, I think they will have more chances. As football is evolving, hope they create more new records for higher quality football
More records ≠ higher quality football
Sure, but advancements in sports medicine, sports psychology, nutrition, and tactics, means the quality of football is forever increasing
Those are some damn juicy stats holy s

I feel like this gets posted once a week
Was just about to say that lol
Crazy to imagine that everyone bar Mbappe managed to achieve numbers like these in non-farmers leagues. Respect
It’s been the 5th best league for a long time, it’s not massively out from the Bundesliga either. Both are easier to score leagues.
Crazy how a league ranked number 5 on the entire planet is considered farmers league
Interesting - that’s almost my list of the most talented players of the 21st century in exact order, except Mbappe is lower and where the hell is Thierry Henry
Idk why but harry kane is surprising.
He led the league in goals and assists one time, and always is scoring, not too surprising he’s here imo.
I think he meant it’s surprising that Kane isn’t higher up that list.
Him making this list in spite of spending almost his entire career at a B-tier top team is impressive. Put him at prime Barca or City and his numbers would be even higher.
Messi, no words. Also, shout out to R9. The man was a monster, and still a big what if story due to the knee injury.

Not exactly top right, but still
I get these are straight stastics but they should be weighed a little differently. Ronaldo should be #2 considering the insane numbers he has in each category. Fuck math and ratios and shit lol
I am not sure what your objection is here, normalizing per matches played is exactly the way to make this fair.
It might be a bit better if the ratio was G+A per minute rather than per game, or removing penalties (since not all the players here were penalty-takers for all or even any of their teams).
What would you prefer?
SUUIIII
3 of top 4 were on a team together and they didn’t even sniff a Champions League title. Strong statement on individuals not winning trophies in world football.
That front 3 would not have won the UCL even with a bald manager of your choice with prime Milan backline and the best 3 work horse CMs of your choice + every refree decision going your way. Not in today’s football anyway.
MNM occupy same spaces when you let them loose. This is like Cancelo x Grealish problem but on steriods.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen
3 in top 7 won the UCL together 🥹
All 3 of MSN were in their prime at the time, while Messi and Neymar were already past their prime when they played together with Mbappé at PSG. And 2015 Barca had a much better midfield than 2022 PSG.
It took me a full minute to figure out wtf you meant. “Mbappe was never in barca…? And barca won CL titles…?Huh? OOOOH YEAHHhh, PSG…”
Same. Messi at PSG still feels like a fever dream.
Exact same thing happened to me. It’s surprising how playing for a team like that really does feel a bit like wasted time for a lot of players. Not in terms of money but just general relevance.
Man if Mbappe had gone to Madrid two years ago he’d be so fucking scary
Keeping that ratio in over 1000 games is crazy
Where’s Benz??
15, this is only top 10
Yeah Google “Benzema 15” for more info on this.
1200 and 1100 goal involvement are fucking freak numbers man
That’s pretty close to the order in which I’d rate them.
