Here are the 10 fastest players to reach 100 goal involvements in league football since the turn of the millennium, according to Transfermarkt.

10. Ronaldinho – 114 matches

Entering the list at tenth position is the Brazilian maestro, Ronaldinho. He reached the milestone of 100 La Liga goal contributions in 2007, having played 114 matches. Overall, Ronaldinho’s record in La Liga comprises 70 goals and 51 assists across 145 games.

Neymar makes his first entry on this list in 2016, during the era of the famed MSN trio.

In total, Neymar contributed to 117 La Liga goals, with 68 being his own goals and 49 assists.

7. Cristiano Ronaldo – 94 matches

Any doubts regarding Ronaldo’s abilities were quelled in 2021 when he achieved 100 goal contributions in just 94 Serie A matches. This marked the end of his third season at Juventus, where he scored an impressive 29 goals in 33 league appearances. That summer saw his much-anticipated return to Manchester United, quickly followed by 18 goals in 30 Premier League matches.

6. Erling Haaland – 92 matches

Kane isn’t the only forward making headlines this year, as Haaland continues to find the net with regularity for Manchester City. Recently, he became the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League and now ranks sixth in terms of goal involvements in the top five leagues.

5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 88 matches

After moving from Milan to PSG, Ibrahimovic made history by achieving 100 goal involvements in a mere 88 matches. During his time in Paris, he collected four league titles and departed with a record of 113 goals and 44 assists in 122 games.

Neymar makes another appearance here, hitting 100 goal involvements in Ligue 1 even faster than in Spain, achieving the milestone in 86 matches after joining PSG in 2022.

He reached 100 goal involvements in just 76 matches, marking the third fastest time since 2000. Currently, he holds 17 goals in 13 league matches, and if Bayern secures the Champions League and England triumphs at the World Cup, he may well be a frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or.

2. Luis Suarez – 71 matches

Barcelona fans waited months for Suarez to debut due to a suspension, but his impact was immediate. As a key member of the famous Messi–Neymar–Suarez trio, he achieved 100 goal involvements in La Liga in just 71 matches.

This achievement only marked the beginning of his prolific scoring journey.
