The top 10 scorers in each of Europe's top five leagues since 1999/00

Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski are undoubtedly the three greatest goal scorers of the 21st century.

The superstar trio have rippled the back of the net for fun throughout their careers and are the only players with 300+ goals in one of Europe's top five leagues since the turn of the millenium.

Messi's haul of 474 in La Liga with Barcelona is obscene, while Ronaldo's 311 league goals with Real Madrid came in just 292 appearances - which is frankly ridiculous.

As for Lewandowski, he recently surpassed the 300-goal mark in the Bundesliga and is closing in on Bayern Munich great Gerd Muller at the top of pile.

But what about the rest of the marvellous goal-getters this century? Well, we've decided to give them some deserved time in the spotlight as well.

Using Transfermarkt, we've worked out the top 10 scorers in each of Europe's top five leagues since the start of the 1999/2000 season.

Only a single player features more than once and that is the legendary Zlatan Ibrahimovic...
