Milestones
20World Cup goals
Twenty World Cup goals is territory reserved for the sport’s absolute outliers, reached by a player who turned 15 into 20 while still driving deep runs at the very highest level. It’s the kind of number that makes a single tournament stage feel too small for his scoring impact.
125Argentina goals
One hundred and twenty-five international goals turn the Argentina No.10 into a one-man era, leaving most legendary national-team scorers closer to his previous milestone than this new, towering total. At this pace, records stop being targets and start looking like milestones he leaves behind in passing.
