The King of Balls or the King of Long Shots? Yes! According to statistics from a well-known data agency, the number of goals scored by players outside the penalty area of ​​the five major leagues since the 2017-18 season. Among them, Messi, who has left the five major leagues for three years, is still far ahead with 40 goals, followed by De Bruyne (25 goals).

Top 10 goals scored outside the penalty area by players in the five major leagues since the 2017-18 season (same number of goals, fewer games ranked higher):

No. 1! Messi: 40 goals/196 games.

Second! De Bruyne: 25 goals/232 games.

Third! Mbappe: 24 goals/251 games.

Fourth! Kane: 23 goals/245 games.

Fifth! Dybala: 21 goals/230 games.

Sixth! Madison: 20 goals/222 games.

Seventh! Prowse: 20 goals/272 games.

Eighth! Malinovsky: 19 goals/181 games.

Ninth! Mertens: 18 goals/163 games.

Tenth! Depay: 18 goals/182 games.

In fact, except for Messi, who is like a ball king, the other nine players in the top ten on this list have a very small difference in the number of goals scored outside the penalty area. If you don’t count Messi, the competition is very fierce. All in all, Messi is too strong and is the king in all statistics. "Blowing" Messi is all the reason why Messi is so outrageous. In fact, he is telling the truth, but it seems that he is "blowing" Messi everywhere!
