Thai club striker scores more goals than Ronaldo in 2025

The latest statistics have surprised fans, as a striker from a Thai club unexpectedly surpasses superstar Ronaldo in the 2025 goal-scoring race.

The year 2025 features a surprising goal-scoring leaderboard in world football. Among familiar names like Mbappe, Kane, and Haaland, Guilherme Bissoli—the striker playing for Buriram United—unexpectedly appears with an achievement surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, creating an incredible highlight of the season.

Competing in Southeast Asia, Bissoli netted 44 goals in 60 matches in 2025. This figure not only places him among the world’s top scorers but also directly surpasses Ronaldo (41 goals in 46 matches). The Brazilian striker’s consistent performance has led experts to reconsider the global competition beyond just the major leagues. Bissoli was the scorer in Buriram’s 1-1 draw against CAHN at the Shopee Cup earlier in December last year.

Among the leaders, Kylian Mbappe stands out as the most impressive breakthrough. The Real Madrid star closed 2025 with 66 goals in 67 matches, nearly achieving a goal-per-game ratio. Mbappe has become the focal point of the Royal team’s attacking system, convincingly leading the global goal-scoring race.

Just behind Mbappe is Harry Kane, a striker who has maintained remarkable consistency with Bayern Munich. With 60 goals in 65 matches, the England captain continues to prove his value as a complete striker, scoring steadily both in the Bundesliga and international competitions throughout the year.

Erling Haaland is also impressive, scoring 57 goals in 55 matches for Manchester City. The Norwegian striker remains a nightmare for Premier League defenses with a scoring rate exceeding one goal per game, solidifying his status as Europe’s top “goal machine.”

Besides the aforementioned names, the 2025 top scorers list includes many forwards from various leagues such as Messi, Osimhen, and Pavlidis. However, the biggest highlight remains a striker playing in Thailand surpassing Ronaldo, showing that the goal-scoring competition is becoming broader and more unpredictable.
