Even at 40, the phenomenal Zlatan Ibrahimovic has no problem scoring goals in the best competitions. On Saturday, he scored in the Udinese net, reaching an important milestone. Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are doing better.

AC Milan may have robbed themselves of top spot in Serie A on Saturday. It was unable to beat Udinese and may be leapfrogged by Inter in the table on Sunday, with Napoli also closing in on points.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, for whom it was an important goal, scored in stoppage time at the end of the game to secure at least a 1-1 draw.

Ibrahimovic became only the third player to score at least 300 goals in the top five European leagues.

The 40-year-old striker scored 153 goals in Serie A and 113 in Ligue 1. He scored 17 more in the Premier League and 16 in La Liga.

Cristiano Ronaldo dominates this statistic, having scored 483 goals in the top five European leagues, while Lionel Messi has 475.

However, unlike Ronaldo and Messi, Ibrahimovic has scored goals elsewhere, scoring 53 in the American MLS and another 35 from his early career in the Dutch Eredivisie.
