The Manchester United forward has scored 192 goals in the league, and still chases Alan Shearer, who found the back of the net on 260 occasions in England's top flight. Former United great Andy Cole is in third place with 187 Premier League goals.
In Italy, Silvio Piola leads the ranking after netting 274 times during his time in Serie A. He is followed by Roma legend Francesco Totti with 244 goals and Gunnar Nordahl with 225 strikes.
Ligue 1's record scorer Delio Onnis scoreded 299 times during his playing days, beating Bernard Lacombe on 255 goals and Herve Revelli, who has a record of 216 strikes.
As you can see, Messi and Ronaldo are among the best goalscorers in the history of Europe's top five leagues, but still have a few goals to score to replace Muller as the leading league scorer in Europe.
