Ronaldo, Messi, Aubameyang: Which players have scored the most goals since 2010?

Lionel Messi unsurprisingly leads the way for the top goalscorers since 2010, edging out his rival Cristiano Ronaldo by 30 goals.

The list was published by transfermarkt and is based on players competing in Europe's top five leagues, with all competitions taken into account.

Whilst most fans will not be at all shocked to find Messi and Ronaldo as the top two in this list, there are definitely some players who are more unexpected than others.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has just completed a transfer to Barcelona after Arsenal agreed to terminate the striker's contract. But surprisingly, despite the Gabon international's release from the club and his poor form since signing his contract renewal, he still managed to make it into the top ten goalscorers since 2010.

Let's take a look at the list in full and see where Aubameyang slots in.

Disappointing spells for Higuain at AC Milan and Chelsea still haven't stopped the Argentinian from making the top 10. The forward's impressive exploits at Real Madrid, Juventus and Napoli have seen his goal tally rise to an impressive 244 goals since 2010.

His most prolific season during this time was the 2015/16 campaign with Napoli, in which the striker netted an incredible 36 goals in 35 league appearances, doubling his tally from the season before.

Despite only scoring 10 Premier League goals during the 2020/21 season and just four so far in the current campaign, Aubameyang's previous efforts mean the striker still places ninth on the list.

The Gabon international bagged plenty of goals during his stint in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, including 31 goals in 32 league appearances during the 2015/16 season. The 32-year-old also won the Premier League Golden Boot whilst at Arsenal
