Many fine players, especially goalscorers, have graced the game since the turn of the century.

They have scored goals and won big titles galore. Some of them are still going strong for club and country, despite being on the wrong side of 30, winning multiple individual accolades along the way.

Many young goalscorers like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have emerged on the scene in the last few years. However, the duo have a long way to go to match the exploits of some of the game's other superstars.

On that note, here's a look at the five most prolific goalscorers in Europe's top five leagues (all competitions) since 2010:


#5 Luis Suarez - 307 goals

It was with the Blaugrana where Suarez enjoyed the best spell of his career. He scored nearly 200 goals for them in six years, and won the continental treble, among other titles.

Deemed surplus to requirements at the end of the 2019-20 season, Suarez joined Atletico. He scored 21 league goals to lead them to their first La Liga title, and is up to seven strikes in the competition this campaign.
