He’s not even a pure striker like some others on this list. Messi scoring that many as a winger for most of his career is insane.

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.
