The top 10 players with the best goal-to-game ration in the 21st Century have been revealed. With six former Premier League players, and a myriad of players from La Liga and the Bundesliga, this list is oozing with world-class ability.

Goal-to-game ratio is a basic statistic, but can easily show how lethal players are in front of goal.

Normally the best forwards of all-time are incredibly high up on this list of statistic, so we wanted to see the top 10 from this Century including some greats from the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.

10. Ruud Van Nistelrooy - 236 goals, 391 games (0.60)

9. Edinson Cavani - 341 goals, 556 games (0.61)

8. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - 361 goals, 586 games (0.62)

7. Harry Kane - 183 goals, 289 games (0.63)

6. Kylian Mbappe - 117 goals, 180 games (0.65)

5. Neymar - 174 goals, 266 games (0.65)

4. Luis Suarez - 277 goals, 411 games (0.67)

3. Robert Lewandowski - 345 goals, 472 game (0.73)

2. Cristiano Ronaldo - 626 goals, 812 games (0.77)

1. Lionel Messi - 630 goals, 726 games (0.87)

As normal we see Messi and Ronaldo at the top of rankings. With Messi having a 0.1 increase over Ronaldo, it shows how incredibly proficient he is in-front of goal.

Four players who spent a lot of their career at Paris Saint-Germain made the list with Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Neymar, and Mbappe making the list to represent France.
