Cristiano Ronaldo is now the leading all-time men's international goalscorer, but where do the likes of Lionel Messi and Pele rank among the top 11 goal-getters ever? Take a look!
The Portugal forward extended his record to 111 goals for his national team with two clinical headers in the last few minutes of his side's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash with the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday night, seeing him pull clear of Iran legend Ali Daei's 109 strikes.

Despite the 36-year-old being in the latter stages of his career, he has now broken eight records with A Selecao in this calendar year.
In terms of the top men's international goalscorers of all time, Messi is quite some way behind the Portuguese forward's tally with 76 goals for Argentina, but has also played 29 fewer matches than the new record holder has.
Paris Saint-Germain's new signing, who is La Albiceleste's leading goalscorer of all time, did recently guide his nation to triumph at the 2021 Copa America, though.

The 80-year-old scored 77 goals in 92 appearances for Brazil, and featured in four World Cups.
