Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are playing their football away from the European spotlight nowadays, but do they still feature among the top goalscorers of 2024?

Not quite. They’ve scored nine and 12 respectively so far this calendar year, and can’t quite match goalscorers from PSG, Lille and Sporting Lisbon.

We’ve identified the top 10 goalscorers (in all competitions) in the world so far in 2024. Any player in a top division in their country is eligible here, so if your mate has scored 97 goals in your regional pub league since the new year — sorry, they don’t count.
