Headlines, two years from now: “Messi has now scored 200 goals since he turned 36”

This is true from the perspective of ‘performance of teams in European competitions in the last 5 years’ but there are other factors that impact the inclusion or exclusion of leagues in statistics. France is a top 5 league in revenue for example, which is a fairly good proxy to measure how many people follow the league and would therefore be interested in hearing stats about it.

I personally would like all stats to include the top 7 leagues but it gets tiring to see people pretend not to understand why Ligue 1 is chosen as the 5th league ahead of Eredivisie or Primeira Liga.

I was like: is Campbell 602? Yep, Campbell is 602. I don’t think I could identify any other team’s most hated player…

This what makes Griezmann so good’ video was made 5 years ago. I’d say he’s even better now. He really is underrated.

We did, we put them both in Griezmann.

Most likely yes, alongside Rabiot and Griezmann who gets listed as a forward but is really a midfielder for France.

“… we are obligated to sell players regardless of how well we do.”

For me the most impressive thing about this record is that by having scored 300 goals, he’s already outscored a lot of great strikers I’ve seen when I was younger like Trezeguet, Luca Toni, Inzaghi, Torres…

Scoring 300 goals and winning a world cup and multiple league titles is already an amazing career by most standards, but he’s not 25 yet and hopefully has plenty more years.
