As the national team match day is underway, just now, the authoritative data website Dezhuan announced the latest national team historical scorer list. As of now, the No. 1 player is Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who has played a total of 224 games for the Portuguese team. During this period, 141 goals were scored, which is a very exaggerated number. Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best shooters in this century. The player has strong shooting skills and finishing ability.

Looking at the entire football world, there are not many players who can compare with him in terms of scoring goals. This is the reason why he ranks first on the list. Judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Ronaldo breaks through 150 goals in the future. Ranked second is Argentine football king Messi. He has played 194 games for Argentina and scored 114 goals during this period. You know, Messi is a comprehensive forward. He not only has a strong scoring ability, but also ranks first in assists in history. Definitely deserved to be ranked second.

Ranked third is Iranian legendary star Ali Daei. He has played a total of 148 games for the national team and scored 108 goals during this period. Before Messi and Ronaldo, Alidai was recognized as the national team's historical top scorer. However, this title is not very valuable. After all, Iran has not participated in many competitions. The competitive level of Alidai's games at that time was also very average, which made the title of the national team's historical top scorer not valuable. Ranked 4th is the legendary Indian shooter Sunil Chhetri. He has played a total of 156 games for the national team and scored 95 goals during this period. This is also a good statistic.

Ranked fifth is Malaysian star Mukhtar Dahari, who has played a total of 142 games for the national team in his career. During this period he was very efficient, scoring 89 goals. His situation is similar to Alidai and others. They are all good stars, but the level of competitions their national teams participate in is very low. In the absence of competition data, Mukhtar Dahari's data is also not very valuable. This is also the reason why players are not well known despite being in the top five in the rankings.

Also ranked 5th is Belgian star Lukaku. So far, he has played 124 games for the Belgian team and scored 89 goals. To a certain extent, Lukaku's efficiency is very high. Especially in the Belgian national team, players can be said to be capable of everything. Perhaps the stars of the Belgian team did not perform impressively in the European Cup and World Cup. But at least Lukaku personally has done what he should do, and he deserves to be ranked in the top five on the list.

Ranked 7th is Polish forward Lewandowski. He has played 160 games for the Polish team and scored 86 goals. Lewandowski is also a top forward with high efficiency, and Poland is not a traditional strong team. Therefore, it is not easy for Lewandowski to lead the team in the World Cup. Next, I don’t know if Lewandowski still hopes to score more than 100 goals for his national team. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible to try. Ranked 8th is UAE forward Ali Mabukut, who played 115 games for the national team and scored 85 goals. As the top player of the UAE team, Ali Mabkut was also a representative of efficient forwards in the past.

Although he has not appeared in the mainstream arena, being in the top 10 of the list has proven his strength. Finally, ranked 9th is Hungarian legendary star Puskas. He has played 89 games for the national team in his career and scored 84 goals, which is indeed an exaggeration. Among all the players on the list, his efficiency is the highest. Even those who are as strong as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot compare with him. It goes without saying what strength Puskás had in the first place. What do you think of this list?
