There is too much controversy with the number of goals and games played by Pelé. Some sources give him 778 goals, others 767, others 757 or 756, the same controversy occurs in the number of games. That is why I decided to do my own research to get to consolidate an exact figure. Under the criterion of official goals, his goals with the São Paulo National Team in the Campeonato Brasileiro de seleções estaduais should count. Why? Well, first of all, it is a tournament organized and recognized by the CBD, the previous federation that was in charge of football in Brazil. Second, because before the creation of the national league, it was a highly prestigious tournament where the best players from each state in the country participated. https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeonato_Brasileiro_de_Seleções_Estaduais_de_1959 Pelé played 91 or 92 official matches with the national team? There were 92 official games until january 2001, when FIFA decided not to recognize any game against all-star team. These matches were important in his time, however, in the history of football, there are several friendly matches and tournaments of great value, which are not recognized by any football entity, this match is one of them. Recognizing it would be a contradiction, since we do not recognize that match as official to the players who were part of the FIFA all-star team. It is unfair to recognize it for some players and not for others. http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/pele-intlg.html My personal account of Pele's official goals: With Santos: Brasileirao (National league): 101 goals in 174 games Torneio Río – São Paulo: 49 goals in 53 games http://www.leodevezas.com.br/2010/12/rio-sp-os-maiores-artilheiro-da.html?m=1 Paulista Championship: 466 goals in 410 games https://futebolpaulista.com.br/Noticias/Detalhe.aspx?Noticia=16359 Intercontinental Cup: 7 goals in 3 games Intercontinental Supercup : 3 goals in 7 games Libertadores Cup: 16 goals in 15 games Total: 642 goals in 662 games With Cosmos: 37 goals in 64 games With NT: 77 goals in 91 games With NT Paulista: 6 goals in 7 games Total in the career: 762 goals in 824 games
who is the top scorer in history? According to FIFA, the top scorer in history is Bican with 805 goals in 530 games. The Czech Federation recognizes him 821 goals and the rsssf recognizes him even more, 950 goals. Again, being strict about goals in official matches, Bican scored 786 in 522 games. The detail of his goals was given to me by a Czech friend who is a football historian and statistician. From this table, I do not count 3 goals that he scored against Ostmark, which was a territory that was part of Nazi Germany, since it was not a national team. https://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=1869 Conclusion: the top scorer in football history is Cristiano. He has on his account, 803 goals in 1102 games
How many goals and official matches did Puskás play? There is no debate regarding his statistics with Real Madrid. According to the official website of Real Madrid, Puskás scored 242 goals in 262 games. For the Hungarian national team he scored 84 goals in 85 games, for Spain he played 4 games and scored no goals, this is also not a debate. So what is the controversy? The problem lies in his passing through the Honvéd formerly called Kispest. He scored the Hungarian league 358 goals in 349 matches, 20 goals in 12 matches in the Hungarian Cup. He also scored 3 goals in 4 Mitropa cup games and 1 goal in 2 European Cup games. In total for Honvéd, Puskás scored 382 goals in 367 games. Total in his career, 708 goals in 718 games.
