Kroos has scored 100 goals in his career, and is set to retire at the end of the 23/24 season. Modric has scored 109 while Iniesta has 107 to his name. Pirlo is a bit behind the rest, with 86 to his name.
Even if you subtract the penalties, Ramos has 108 goals in his career, which is remarkable for a central defender. In spite of his age, the veteran continues to be in top shape, having played 37 games for Sevilla this season, totalling 3,300 minutes, and scoring seven goals across all competitions.
With his deal expiring at the end of the season, Ramos has been linked with a move to San Diego FC, which would end his illustrious European career.
