The player that previously held this record was Lionel Messi who was 25 when he scored his 300th goal, i genuinely think if mbappe doesn’t end up as a top 5 player ever it would be a shame

So OP’s post is a false claim? According to Wikipedia Neymar had 293 goals by the end of the 2017 season, when he was past 25. I don’t think those include club friendlies though, and I’m not sure if Mbappe’s numbers include friendlies either. Either way they both have crazy stats considering they’re not true strikers.
We tend to dis include friendlies, because otherwise we get a repeat of pele (after ronaldo topped his goal scoring record, rip goat). He came out and claimed he had a large amount more due to…well I can’t even remember. But I’ve heard he claimed friendlies count, which seems fine until he was playing in Brazil. Most of us could probably crawl onto one of those pitches, stand at 9 and bury 2 per match
I would love to see you try! And thats not me being snarky i would genuinely love to see the average person have one game in a Man City or somethi g and see how they get on lol
I labelled Brazil (in this response) mostly because I KNOW I can do it against uni teams (pele played a lot of friendlies against high school teams. So the defenders are smaller and slower than me, 19 years old and uni starting striker)
As for city….ok yeah depends on the opposition defence. I’m never getting past VVD, or Varane. But against Southampton or…maybe West Ham? I’d wager I could pop an offside trap and tap one in. If I’m playing off a lump of hair gel, doku, KDB, silva (etc) I’d get enough chances to score at least 1
You are absolutely delusional. I think you have no clue how high the level is these players are playing at. Sure Southamptons or West Hams defenders are weak compared to someone like VVD or Varen, but those guys are still better football players then 99% of the human population, including you .
I genuinely believe almost every single person in this sub wouldn’t even be able to control a ball if someone lik KDB passed it to them.
Even if you would get a 1 on 1 goal chance against a premier league goalkeeper you wouldn’t score.
Nah mate, you just don’t know it all. I was in the West Ham academy until 3 years ago when I dropped out due to mental health issues. I had players like noble and payet calling me out as the next big thing. You saying I can’t beat a prem gk 1v1 when I was beating Fabianski on a weekly basis, is like me saying you can’t think straight
The way you tell this makes me absolutely certain you’re lying.
